We hiked the Pond Loop in Beartown State Park mid April and it took us about 1 hour 40 minutes.

The reason it took so long was because there were a lot of muddy spots and we had to navigate around them.

This would be considered a pretty easy hike. For the majority of the hike you are walking quite close to the water, and for about 40% of the hike you are walking through the woods.

I was wearing running shoes, and even though it was muddy I was able to keep my shoes relatively clean. The trail is quite easy to walk on rocks and at places where it's very wet they have boards or little bridges.

We were a group that consisted of five year olds all the way up to 55 year olds, and the hike was perfectly fine for everyone. We took it slow, and there was really no exertion required.

It was a really nice way to spend a good portion of your day. Bring along snacks or even a picnic because they have plenty of picnic tables.
