On February 3, 2004, the Green Mountain Club acquired the Wheeler Pond Camps in Barton from the Appalacian Mountain Club. Located near Willoughby State Forest, the Wheeler Pond Camps are maintained by the NEK Section and offer exceptional access to over 20 miles of hiking trails.

(The above picture of Wheeler Pond was taken from a nearby overlook located a short hike from the camps.)
