Narrows Pond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Narrows Pond is actually two small twin lakes in Winthrop, Maine. They are Upper and Lower Narrows Pond, and are divided by a very narrow isthmus, hence the name. The isthmus is traversed by Narrows Pond Road, and a culvert connects the two lakes. People in canoes or kayaks can travel between the two lakes, though only by ducking first.

Upper Narrows Pond covers 222 acres (90 ha) with a mean depth of 25 feet (8 m) and a maximum depth of 59 feet (18 m). The volume of Upper Narrows is 4953 acre feet (6.11 x 10^{6 m³).}

^{Both lakes' shores are lined with cottages, most of them summer residences. Seaplanes are allowed to land and take off from the Upper pond. A Methodist summer camp is located on the Lower Pond.}
