Fall Colors Reflect on Papoose Pond in North Waterford, Maine
Lakefront real estate on Papoose Pond in North Waterford offers natural beauty in the lakes and mountains region of Maine.
Papoose Pond is located in the northeast corner of Waterford. It encompasses 70 acres and has a maximum depth of 15 feet.
One of the cool things about Papoose Pond is that you can canoe the Crooked River from here. The river is Sebago Lake’s largest tributary. As you wind your way along, you’ll soon understand why it’s called crooked.
The principal fisheries are largemouth bass, white perch, chain pickerel and black crappie. Fish migrate between Crooked River and the pond, so it’s not unusual to catch a salmon or brook trout here. There is no public boat ramp.
What you will find are natural wooded lots that slope to the waterfront. This is a wonderful place for a dream home or weekend retreat. And you are only a half hour drive from Shawnee Peak, Sunday River and Mount Abram Ski Areas. The location is also between North Conway, New Hampshire and Freeport, Maine, so if you like to shop, let this be your headquarters.
Hiking trails are abundant in the area, including Pulpit Rock, a two-mile hike that offers spectacular views of Mount Washington and the White Mountains, plus Papoose Pond itself. Access the trailhead off of Hunts Corner Road. Snowmobile and ATV trails are also nearby.
Waterford is a quintessential New England village. The village green is located in Waterford Flat, a section of town encompassed by numerous buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. And North Waterford is home to the famous Waterford World’s Fair, as well as Beech Hill Farm and Bison Ranch, Marta’s Bakery and Melby’s Market and Eatery.
