Bay Of Naples Bridge Between Long Lake and Brandy Pond in Naples, Maine Ushers In New Generation
May 17th, 2012 categories: Sebago Lakes Region
Sunset from the Causeway in Naples, Maine
The Bay of Naples Bridge between Long Lake and Brandy Pond in Naples, Maine, is being viewed as the dawning of a new generation. The 80-foot long by 52-foot wide arch-style fixed bridge replaces the 1954 swinging bridge. Those familiar with the swinging bridge built to take cars across the Chute River (the area’s shortest river), will recall sitting in line to wait as it opened on a regular schedule during summer months to allow boat traffic to pass through. One of my favorite memories of the old bridge is of the passengers standing on the top deck of the Songo River Queen II waving from street level as the Mississippi River-style paddleboat passed by on its way to the Songo lock.
But . . . the swing bridge was in need of major repairs, and it was determined several years ago that it would be better to build a fixed bridge. After months and months of construction, the new bridge is open for traffic.
Under the beautifully designed arch will be a 30-foot wide navigation channel. During the summer, there will be 12 feet, 8 inches of space for boats to pass through. “Ninety-five percent of the boats will be able to come and go when they choose rather than waiting for the bridge to open,” says Naples Town Manager Derik Goodine. “Five percent of the boats won’t make it under the bridge, including the Songo River Queen. That is unfortunate, but I am hopeful that many people will find other things to do while they wait for the next River Queen trip.” The Songo River Queen II will continue to offer seasonal daily trips on Long Lake.
Mr Goodine says that the bridge is just a minor part of the overall project. Though the new bridge is open for traffic, there is still much to complete to “change Naples from a gray 1950’s asphalt car-dependent tourist area . . . into a digital age of technicolor.” Rather than being only car-friendly, the plan is to create a pedestrian-friendly green space that people will want to spend time at. This will happen in the form of shade trees and other plantings, benches, an ampitheater for public performances, an interactive fountain to cool off in, art, sculptures and Wi-Fi. A fifteen-foot wide boardwalk will span the Long Lake side of the causeway and lead to the water level on a bridge walk path.
All of these changes will revitalize the area. As Mr. Goodine says, “People will not avoid Naples on their trips [in order] to avoid the bridge openings, but will now choose this route and will be amazed at the changes made . . . We are hopeful that new business will spurn from this new show piece.”
Hats off to Naples and the rebirth of the Causeway.

Maine Lakes’ Health Reflected in the Color of Water
May 13th, 2012 categories: Mid Coast Lakes Region
Take Time to Reflect at Lake Megunticook in Lincolnville, Maine
As you stand beside the lake on your waterfront property in Maine, ask yourself why it looks the way it does. If you cup some water in your hand, it appears colorless, but look at the body of water and it has a color. Yes, it does reflect the sky, but it’s the water’s depth and what’s happening down there that also gives it color. What does that color mean?
Laura Wilson of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension explains it this way:
Suspended and dissolved particles in water influence the color. The suspended material may be a result of natural causes and/or human activity.
Clear Blue Water has a low accumulation of dissolved material to reflect colors. The darker the blue, the deeper the water.
Translucent Water has less dissolved and suspended materials. If the water is very shallow, there isn’t enough depth for blue wavelengths of light to travel and reflect back.
Murky or Cloudy Water is caused by eroding soil. Strong winds stir up sediment and cause turbidity. In urban areas, this water may appear as a gray color.
Transparent but Brown Water that looks like tea or rootbeer is the result of decaying leaves or organic matter.
Green Water means there is excessive algal growth most frequently caused by excess nutrients or fertilizers.
Oily Sheen on the Water indicates that there might have been a petroleum spill. That oily look may also come from the breakdown of natural sources, e.g. some bacteria get their energy from iron and manganese–when these bacteria decompose they may appear oily, or slimy black, red or orange as the metals solidify.
(Note: To tell the difference between an oil spill and natural oil sheen–poke with a stick–If it swirls back together immediately, it’s petroleum. If it breaks apart, then it’s either bacterial or plant/animal decomposition.)
Yellowish Powder or Dust in spring/early summer, as you probably know, is pollen from evergreens and flowering trees.
Orange or Reddish Brown Slime on surface is caused by high iron concentrations and iron bacteria.
Ultimately, the color of the water and quality of a lake is a reflection of how we take care of its watershed. Healthy watersheds make healthy lakes and higher property values.
Natural shorelines full of trees and native plants form the foundation of a healthy lake. As a Maine lakefront property owner, you can help protect the water quality and natural beauty of your lake for yourself, your neighbors, and future generations.

Pleasant Pond in Central Maine: Lakefront Views to Remember
May 10th, 2012 categories: Belgrade Lakes Region
Pleasant Lake: Some of the Best Bass Fishing in central Maine
Pleasant Pond and Upper Pleasant Pond (Mud Pond), located in the towns of Gardiner, West Gardiner, Richmond and Litchfield, are great choices when you are in the market for Maine lakefront property. The ponds are situated in the Cobbosseecontee Stream drainage.
Pleasant Pond is 3.5 miles long and is connected via a culvert to Upper Pleasant Pond, which is 2.5 miles long. Encompassing a total of 797 acres, the ponds have a maximum depth of 26 feet with a minimum depth of 10 feet. There is a state-owned boat launch on Thorofare Road in Litchfield. The water quality is above average.
The ponds are known as one of the best bass fishing spots in central Maine. The abundant weedy areas provide ideal habitat for the principal fisheries of largemouth bass and chain pickerel.
Variable leaf milfoil was discovered in Pleasant Pond and the Four Towns Watershed Association built a DASH boat (Diver-Assisted Suction Harvester) with monies from the Maine Milfoil Initiative to help eradicate it.
As you paddle along the length of ponds, enjoying the view of emerald green pastures and rolling hills, be on the lookout for osprey, loons and bald eagles as they dive for fish. Explore the marsh south of Route 197. Here you’ll probably see floating mats of vegetation created from freshly cut cattails and mud–these are muskrat platforms. Listen and look–you’ll probably hear and see the muskrats.
Peacock Beach State Park is an ideal destination via car or boat. Covering 100 acres, it has a small beach and swimming area. A few picnic tables and grills dot the shoreline.
After a day of paddling, you might enjoy a sauna at the Richmond Sauna Bed and Breakfast. For a nominal fee, the B&B offers “Finnish style wood-fired sauna rooms, hot tub and heated pool in a secluded, clothing-optional setting.”
The towns and villages surrounding Pleasant Pond are fun to explore–especially for Maine-made items and antiques. And if you want to move further about, from your waterfront cabin or cottage, you’re within two hours of Maine’s primary attractions: Moosehead Lake, Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Closer to your vacation getaway is LL Bean in Freeport and Boothbay Harbor.
Curl up with a good book on the deck of your lakefront cottage. Paddle your days away exploring the ponds and wildlife. Or take off for an excursion to the Maine coast or mountains. It’s all easily accessible when you own waterfront real estate in Gardiner, Litchfield or Richmond.
