Lovejoy Pond, Albion, Maine: Experience Stillness at Lakefront Property

Calm Waters of Lovejoy Pond in Albion, Maine

Lovejoy Pond is set amongst the rolling hills and picturesque farmland of Albion, Maine. Purchase lakefront property on Lovejoy Pond and capture memories of weekend getaways, family vacations or year-round living.



Encompassing 379 acres, the pond has a 4.2 mile perimeter well worth exploring. The mean depth is 15 feet, while the maximum depth is 32 feet. The pond is a mile and a half long and one mile wide. It empties into Fifteen Mile River.
What kind of fish will I catch? you wonder. Lovejoy Pond has an excellent warmwater fishery. Reel in your line again and again–you’ll feel like a pro as you hook small and largemouth bass and white perch. You’ll also feel as if you have the pond to yourself most of the time.
Unfortunately, Lovejoy Pond has below average water quality due to the amount of phosphorus that leaches into the lake. Phosphorus is a natural-occurring nutrient, but an overload from fertilizers and other sources can lead to poor water quality. Being farm country, it’s not unusual for the Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL, to be high. For Lovejoy Pond, Volunteer Lake Monitor Program monitors and a formal pond association are in the talks. This, accompanied with best practice management plans of lakefront property owners, can create a positive change for the sake of the pond.
You’ll experience stillness on this tranquil pond. Most of the time while you are kayaking or canoeing the 4.2 perimeter, you’ll feel like you have the entire pond to yourself. Of course, you won’t be alone ever–think bald eagles, loons, cormorants, osprey, heron and kingfishers. In fact, part of your exploration should include figuring out what tree is the eagles’ favorite.
Albion has a population of just under 2,000, while China is a bit bigger, with a population of about 5,000.
With waterfront property on Lovejoy Pond, you’re never too far from amenities. It’s a fifteen minute drive to the historic town of Waterville, home of Colby College. And in 45 minutes, you’ll find yourself approaching coastal towns, including Belfast.
If it’s a rural, scenic setting you seek, think about Lovejoy Pond. Stay home–at your classic Maine camp, cottage or cabin. Swim. Kayak. Nap.
