Hi Megawatt, I've never hiked the area but it is listed in a neat little book I picked up last year while at the Moultonborough General Store. It's called Nature Walks in the New Hampshire Lakes Region, An AMC Nature Walks Book by Julia Older and STeve Sherman. It can fit in a fanny pack or a cargo pants pocket. The Highlighted area starts out saying it's a 2.4 mile walk, one hour and 15 minutes, moderate hike. The Getting there directions say: from the blinker at South Wolfborough rte 28 drive south 1.6 miles to Stagecoach Road. Turn left and drive 1.1 miles. At Y junction bear left on Rines Road. Drive .05 mile to the Knights Pond Conservation area sign and a gate on the left. Pass through this gate and travel another .05 mile to the parking lot and another gate. The access road to the pond starts here. Other guidelines were carry in/carry out rule; dogs on leash and park in designated area. They say there is a picnic area in the grassy area. Have fun!

By the way this book lists 50 hikes. It lists where they are and has small maps of the location, gives directions and parking info, descriptions of the area and trails and do's and don'ts. It includes the milage of the trails, whether they are easy, moderate or difficult and how long it would take the average hiker to complete it. Also lists the agency or group that owns or controls the trail.
