Located along Routes 35, 37 and 118, the three villages of Waterford, Maine are nestled in the rolling hills of western Maine.
There are several pretty bodies of water in Waterford – Papoose, McWain, Bear, Duck and Little Moose Ponds to name the prominent ponds. In addition, also find Crooked River, Mud Pond fen and Keoka Lake. All provide plenty of water-related recreation in Waterford.
After swimming and sunning all day, you might relax on a park bench in the village green at Waterford Flat. Look one way and see the home of Artemus Ward, pen name of Waterford native Charles F. Brown, who was a mentor of Mark Twain. Turn the other way and gaze upon the beautiful Lake House Bed and Breakfast, a well-appointed place to stay with a wonderful dining room that’s open to the public. Just steps down the road toward the Keoka Lake beach, step into the quaint Waterford Library, designed by John Calvin Stevens and his son, John Howard Stevens.
