On the pond, look for eagles, osprey, loons, ducks and turtles. Even the loons think of Molasses Pond as a family place, as quite a number of them are spotted here each year.
Eastbrook is located about a half hour north of Ellsworth, the Gateway to Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It’s just over 2.5 hours north of Portland and 4.5 hours from Boston. The trip is well worth it as you’ll feel the positive energy as soon as you reach Molasses Pond.
