St. Albans, Maine, at the southern end of Big Indian Pond
Big Indian Pond and the adjacent Little Indian Pond in St. Albans, Maine, are ideal for any type of water activity. These water bodies form the headwaters of the Sebasticook River. Lakefront property owners love the location of Big Indian amidst the rolling farmlands of central Maine. Route 23 is lined with cornfields and pastures that fence in cows and horses. Along the roadside, you’ll find stands selling vegetables in season.
A stream connects Big Indian to Little Indian, which is a shallow, weedy pond covering 145 acres. The maximum depth is 13 feet and the principal fisheries are smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, black crappie and white perch. Hand-carried watercraft may be put in at an access on Route 23.
St. Albans is a picture postcard New England community nestled into a valley just 19 miles Northeast of Skowhegan. The small village is situated at the southern tip of Big Indian. The streets are lined with white clapboard homes. Along the main street you’ll find two historic halls–the grange hall and the town hall. St. Albans Mountain and Devil’s Head form the backdrop. Hikers, ATVers, snowmobilers and cross-country skiers enjoy the journey to the top, where they are rewarded with a view reminiscent of days gone by–including the steeple of Union Church overseeing the town.
Sugarloaf ski resort is an easy drive away and St. Albans is only one hour from Portland.
Bar Harbor is just over an hour away. Own waterfront property here and enjoy the Mountains and Lakes Region of Maine.
