Piper Pond in Abbot, Maine, Offers Natural Stimulation
Piper Pond in Abbot, Maine, is off the beaten path, and yet, lakefront property owners find there is always something to do.
The pond encompasses 423 acres and has a 4.6 mile perimeter. The maximum depth is 56 feet, with a mean depth of 18 feet. Anglers enjoy fishing in summer or winter. The principal fisheries are brook trout and splake. At the north end, on Pond Road, is a
public boat launch.
Piper Pond features
above average water quality and there are no known aquatic invasives. You’ll find minimal activity and noise add to the ambiance of the pond.
Venture to this Central Maine location in the Maine Highlands and you’ll discover that it’s not only a place to get away from it all, but also a
great jumping off point for outdoor adventures.
Enjoy the fishing and panoramic views. Listen to the chorus of frogs and birds.
Watch for bald eagles. Nap in a hammock by the water’s edge. Gather round the campfire to share stories. Gaze at stars in the clear, night sky. Fall asleep to the cry of the loon.
A classic Maine camp, cottage or cabin on Piper Pond also provides easy access to
Baxter State Park, Mount Katahdin and Moosehead Lake. Closer to home, you’ll find Barrows Falls on the Piscataquis River, Brown Hill, Walker Hill and others. It’s also located near 1,000 miles of designated ATV trails–you can ride to Greenville, Jackman, The Forks, Bingham and Cambridge.
The small village of Abbot sits at the edge of the
Great North Woods. The 2010 census indicated that the population was 714 people. The town, which in the late 1700s was named for John Abbott (with a double “t” at the end), a treasurer of Bowdoin College, straddles Kingsbury Stream and has one store and a bakery. On the way into town, you’ll be welcomed by a sign, which reads “Welcome to Abbot, Maine’s #1 Town.”
We think you’ll agree
it’s #1 after spending time here. Dover-Foxcroft is close by and you’ll find all of the amenities there. Abbot is under three hours from Portland and four hours from Boston.
