The Hidden Pond Trail at Boyce Mayview Park in Upper Saint Clair, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile one-way trail that features a small swamp area and Spring-time wildflowers.
Hike Description
This track starts along the Birds Meadow Drive (a gravel walking path) and heads south, passing the Little Falls Trail and eventually reaches the Falling Leaf Trail. While this trail is extremely short, it boasts some beautiful flowers in the Spring time along with a chance to see wildlife at the swamp. When we tracked this trail, during late April 2021, the trail had some blowdowns and overgrowth that had not been maintained.
The swamp area has a bench hikers can use to take a little break and to enjoy the scenery.
