At 1 square mile, the pond covers 196 acres and has a maximum depth of 25 feet with a mean depth of 9 feet. The shoreline of this shallow pond is moderately developed and predominately rocky, though there are a few stretches of sandy beach.
Songo Pond is the source of Crooked River, which meanders south through the Sebago Lakes Region to eventually discharge into Sebago Lake.
A boat access for canoes and car-top boats is located along Route 5.  Anglers enjoy fishing for white perch, chain pickerel and smallmouth bass.
There’s plenty to do when you aren’t spending time on the water. Hike the Albany Mountains or in the White Mountain National Forest. Ride to the summit of Sunday River on the Chondola and enjoy views of Goose Eye and Old Speck Mountain, Maine’s third highest peak with an elevation of 4,170 feet. Bike the 14 mile Route 5/35 and Vernon Street Loop, which will bring you beside Songo Pond. Try a dog sled ride. Play golf at Sunday River Resort and Bethel Inn or cross-country ski at Carters, Sunday River and the Bethel Inn. Horseback rides, waterslides, sleigh rides–it’s all available right here.
Maybe you are a rockhound or want to give it a try. The Songo Pond Mill, known for its attractive blue beryl crystals, is located on a hilltop overlooking the pond. It’s one of the only working gem mines in the US and is open seasonally on a fee basis.
