The small pond is a popular place for non-motorized boating, including canoeing and kayaking. A carry-down launch area is located on the south end of the pond. Fishing and swimming are also favorite activities. Hapgood boasts the forest's only designated and managed swim beach. A fishing pier is located on the shore.
Hapgood Pond Trail begins in the day-use area and continues almost a mile around the north edge of the pond to the dam. A short spur trail follows a stream and winds through the woods around the pond.
Younger visitors love the big play field area within Hapgood, a perfect spot for Frisbee or ball games.
