On Gull Pond you’ll be sure to enjoy the ambiance of canoeing or kayaking, especially in the morning or evening. It’s so different from a walk in the woods. Paddle alone and become one with nature as you drift along and watch the spotted turtles retreat to the water from their position on a log, site a moose feeding on pickerel weed and listen to the red-winged blackbirds defend their territory.
At night, from your screened porch listen to the inspiring call of the loons rising from the dark waters of the pond. Henry David Thoreau often heard the loons on his trips through northern Maine and described it “as if its language were but a dialect of my own . . . awake at night I listened to hear some words or syllables.”
