点评:Looking out from the Jordan Pond Restaurant, there are two ways to go. Going “right” is the easy part of this trail. Going left is a harder part due to the boulders which I would like to forget. Read on to see why.
Going right is easy, flat and has many vistas of the pond—more like a lake. You will not be the only ones on this trail though. We did see one Park Ranger who made her rounds around the lake.
The path is 3.1 miles long around the deepest and 2nd largest lake in the park. One can kayak and canoe on the pond, but no swimming allowed as Jordan Pond is a watershed for surrounding communities.
As you round the bend on the other side, the boulders will start increasing. It is on one of those “flat” boulders that my wife began to wobble. I caught her just in time before falling over towards the water—where there are more boulders.
As she was moving forwards, I stepped on the same boulder where she just wobbled from. I did not wobble. I just fell towards the lake.
Luckily, a number of hikers had bandages and wipes to help me. I fell right between a crevice of boulders. I was definitely bleeding.
Maybe it is from my college football days, I did not suffer any broken bones. My ego was shattered though—completely. How did I fall?
My wife insisted that we go back on the “easy” side of the pond. I had escaped a major tragedy. There is no cell service that far out.
We toasted with a beer at Jordan Pond restaurant (a review posted for that too) and had a delicious popover with strawberry jam and butter.

翻译:从乔丹池餐厅向外望去,有两条路可走。向“右”走是这条小径的简单部分。向左走比较难,因为有巨石,我想忘记这些。请继续阅读以了解原因。
向右走很容易,地势平坦,可以看到池塘的许多景色——更像一个湖泊。不过,您不会是唯一走这条小径的人。我们确实看到一位公园管理员在湖边巡视。
这条小径长 3.1 英里,环绕着公园中最深和第二大的湖泊。人们可以在池塘上划皮划艇和独木舟,但不允许游泳,因为乔丹池是周围社区的分水岭。
当您绕过另一边的弯道时,巨石会开始增多。正是在其中一块“平坦”的巨石上,我的妻子开始摇晃。我及时抓住了她,否则她会跌倒在水里——那里有更多的巨石。
当她向前走的时候,我踩到了她刚才摇摇晃晃的那块巨石。我没有摇晃。我只是朝湖边跌倒了。
幸运的是,一些徒步旅行者有绷带和湿巾来帮助我。我正好跌倒在巨石的缝隙之间。我肯定在流血。
也许是因为我在大学橄榄球时代,我没有骨折。但我的自尊心被彻底击垮了。我是怎么跌倒的?
我的妻子坚持要我们回到池塘“容易”的那一边。我逃过了一场大悲剧。那么远的地方没有手机服务。
我们在乔丹池餐厅(也发布了一篇评论)举杯庆祝,并吃了美味的草莓酱和黄油松饼。
