Pleasant Lake and Parker Pond in Otisfield and Casco Ideal Sites for Lakefront Camps and Cottages
December 27th, 2009 categories: Sebago Lakes Region
Pleasant Lake in Casco and Otisfield as viewed from Pine Hill
Looking for a Maine lakefront property, a summer retreat, or a camp or cottage in the western Mountains and Lakes Region of Maine? Located less than an hour from Portland and Augusta and 30 minutes from Maine Wildlife Park in Gray are two great bodies of water you should check out – Pleasant Lake and Parker Pond.
Situated in Otisfield and Casco, Pleasant Lake covers 1,077 acres and has a maximum depth of 62 feet. It’s rectangular in shape with few coves, and is a half mile wide and four miles long, perfect for waterskiing, cross-country skiing or snowmobiling. Fishing is great as well. Pleasant Lake is said to be teeming with trout and salmon. A state fishery abuts the lake in Casco village.
The beauty of Pleasant Lake is that, though it’s home to several summer residential camps, i.e. Camp Samoset for boys, Camp Arcadia for girls, Hoop Camp, and Seeds of Peace at the former Camp Powhatan, it’s relatively undeveloped. The Pleasant Lake beach in Otisfield is a gem. You’ll also find a beach and boat launch in Casco.
Lilly Brook in Casco provides a passageway for smaller boats to navigate between Pleasant Lake and the smaller Parker Pond. Parker Pond, just east of Route 121, covers 166 acres with a maximum depth of 19 feet. The water here is exceptionally clear, making fishing difficult. Folks tend to wait for windy days to fish on Parker.
The Pleasant Lake Parker Pond Association (PL/PPA) was formed by Dr. Joel Bloom in the 1960s. Dr. Bloom, who sadly passed away this past July, was an educator from New York who had grown up on Pleasant Lake. From 1947-1996 he ran Camp Powhatan for Boys in Otisfield.
According to his obituary in the New York Times, “He pioneered diversity in camping, starting a scholarship fund at Powhatan and helped found Camp Susan Curtis for underprivileged Maine children. In 1993 he assisted in starting Seeds of Peace, a camp to empower young leaders from conflict regions with skills to advance coexistence.” Dr. Bloom led the PL/PPA to become one of the most proactive lake associations in the area.
For more than 25 years the PL/PPA has tested the water quality of Pleasant Lake and Parker Pond, with great results.
In 2007 the association worked on the project funded in part by a 319 grant (Clean Water Act) from the Maine DEP. Realizing that the biggest culprit in this watershed is non-point source pollution, i.e. storm water runoff from rain and snowmelt, landowners are encouraged to use vegetation as erosion control.
Native plants that can handle drought conditions and acidic soil include shrubs such as High and Low-bush Blueberry, Bearberry, Bayberry, Sweet Fern, Sheep Laurel, Snowberry, and Juniper. Perennials that do well in these conditions include Black-eyed Susan, Cinnamon Fern, Yarrow, Purple Cornflower, Scarlet Bee Bam, Hay Scented Fern, Solomon Seal and Mint.
If you are seeking a quiet environment, Pleasant Lake or Parker Pond may be the choice for you.

Adams Pond, Bridgton, Maine: a Quiet Setting for Lakefront Cottage
December 19th, 2009 categories: Sebago Lakes Region
Camp Pondicherry on Adams Pond in Bridgton, Maine
Tucked away in the hills of the Sebago Lakes Region of western Maine is the 45-acre Adams Pond.
Located in South Bridgton, Maine the pond was almost renamed Adams Lake about 30 or more years ago. According to local resident Barry Johnson, there was a push to get a professional water skiing group to come to South Bridgton. This group would only ski on lakes, not ponds, so some residents wanted to make the change.
There is a public access, but only if you carry your boat in, so it’s perfect for kayaks and canoes. Maine Statue 13068 states “A person may not operate a motorboat having more than 10 horsepower on Adams Pond, Foster Pond or Otter Pond in the Town of Bridgton in Cumberland County.”
The pond is alive with fish. Barry and his son, Ben, fish for bass, trout and white perch.
“Fishing’s pretty good,” says Barry, “The state stocks it with trout.”
Though the state says Adams Pond is closed for ice fishing, it was accidentally opened for two winters. Barry’s wife, Julie, says the pond was packed the years it was open.
The swimming is great too. There is no public beach, but the Johnsons live across the street from the pond and neighbors let them use their beach. One summer Barry and Ben swam across the pond and around it. Ben was training for a swim across Highland Lake in downtown Bridgton. This father and son team also enjoys snorkeling together.
“We’ve found interesting stuff like old shovels. There used to be an old wooden boat that was fun to snorkel out and see, but it decayed over time,” says Barry.
In the late 1800s, early 1900s, farms surrounded the pond. The Ingalls and Perley families had settled the area. Today, places still bear their names, but Adams Pond is home to the Girl Scouts’ Camp Pondicherry, Adams Lake Cottages and several private properties.
The pond is monitored regularly by Lakes Environmental Association (LEA). According to a 2008 year-end report by LEA, “Dissolved oxygen depletion and elevated phosphorus levels in the bottom waters are frequently observed in Adams Pond. For these reasons, the pond remains in the high degree of concern category.”
The maximum depth of Adams Pond is 51 feet. A dam at the outlet to Sawyer Brook is privately owned and operated.
You’ll find the peace and beauty of the Maine woods, if you purchase lakefront property on Adams Pond. From fine fishing and swimming to snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, this is an outdoor person’s paradise.
