Jackson Pond primitive group site
This is a great primitive campsite located close to Jackson Pond with access from a small parking area and trailhead of the Finger Lakes Trail, or via canoe or non-motorized boats from a nearby boat launch to the north. Quiet, peaceful wooded location perfect for individual or group tenting, such as scout groups, fishermen, backpackers and hikers. No potable water, garbage disposal or latrines, so be prepared . Site would be better if it had a shelter like some of the other FLT campsites in the area. But it is still a nice tenting site with easy access. Great for hiking, fishing, wildlife watching, easy access from either Norwich or South Otselic.
