So this trail is in  one of the new wilderness areas and has a pond or small lake next to it, but the main feature along the trail is something else.

I would have to say that that body of water looks like the one along the beginning of the Rimrock trail.

We have a winner!  The main feature on the Rimrock trail is the overlook - to me it is one of the most spectacular spots in the district, maybe only surpassed by Pyramid Butte.

Here is a photo of a trail junction on a current district trail that is in one of the new wilderness areas:

Nice.

I don't know if you could makeout the tracks in the photo posted, but a motorcycle and a quad came through a few minutes ahead of us when we were hiking on this trail in a new wilderness area. Ignorance of the fact, that you can't use ATV's in a wilderness area is no excuse. The laws have changed in the forest, if it is not posted for ATV use, stay off the trail. I know it might take some time to get all the needed signs up and the ATV users to change their ways, but hopefully the damage to our trails will finally come to an end from this type of abuse.
