Beech Hill Pond
is a beautiful, four and a half-mile long, spring-fed lake located in “Downeast Maine” near Acadia National Park. It makes a relaxing vacation spot for anyone wanting to explore the Downeast Maine area, without the crowds of the National Park. The setting for Beech Hill Pond couldn’t be prettier – the crystal clear water is surrounded by peaceful mountains, with a nice, flat, sandy area at the water’s edge that is perfect for sunning or playing in the sand. Just a few of the activities available at Beech Hill Pond are swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, bicycling, wildlife viewing or just relaxing and enjoying the views. For sightseers, a thirty-minute drive takes you to Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park, which is the oldest national park on the East Coast. This amazing island features unusual geological formations, rugged coastal scenery, nature and wildlife, scheduled events inside the park, boat cruises, hiking trails and much more. The town of Bar Harbor is also located on Mount Desert Island and offers visitors a charming shopping district with unique shops, art galleries and restaurants. However, if you choose to stay closer to the Beech Hill Pond area, the village of Ellsworth is only a few minutes away and also has shopping and restaurants, including fresh clam chowder and lobsters right off the boat.
