There is easy public access to Foster's Pond from two reservations managed by the Andover Village Improvement Society (AVIS).  Goldsmith Woodlands, the older and larger of the two, affords splendid hikes, with trails that lead to the water's edge.  The Wilkinson Reservation, newer and less travelled, affords grand views from the opposite end of the Pond - and an excellent vantage point from which to look for osprey diving into the still waters on a summer afternoon.
