     Glide down the rapids of Big Wilson Stream in a kayak, and not far from Bear Pond you'll find Meadow Pond which is a striking lake. Good hiking is available along the Number Four Mountain Trail, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always pop by nearby Mud Pond. This lake is so wonderful. There's great hiking along the Intake Trail, and a great site to camp here at Bear Pond is Balsam woods Campground. The summit of Ledge Hill can be spotted from  
   Bear Pond, and Little Wilson Falls is an inspiring location to stop at while here.
So much fun stuff in close proximity to Bear Pond, truly phenomenal. Bear Pond is nice enough to spend more than a day at, Wildwood Shores Campground is a nice local campground, and the slopes of Big Squaw are so inviting noone can resist. The annual rainfall here at Bear Pond is about average; the month of July is the wettest with most of the rain; February on the other hand is
 
               the driest. Go for a hike on the Gulf Hagas Trail, and Juniper Knee Bog is a swamp near Bear Pond.
All through the warm days of summer highs here at Bear Pond get into the 70's, and during the night it cools down to the 50's. During the winter highs are in the 20's, and overnight lows during the winter for Bear Pond tend to be in the-10's. If you need a location to stay Lodge at Moosehead Lake is a perfect choice. This lake is so wonderful. Take a little spree to James Brook since you're here at Bear Pond, and what would a location like Bear Pond be without out of the ordinary nearby highlights like Bear Pond Ledge.

Gulf Hagas Trail
11 miles away
Just came off Gulf Hagas in a kayak this week. Spectacular run!...Llyod Pond is on the back side of the rim trail if you drive past the turn off for Little Lyford and park at the bridge, you walk up the trailheading east and it is less than a mile....A quick correction: The gorge of the West Branch of the Pleasant river through ''Gulf Hagas'' has been kayaked many times. It is an expert level run, but not really extreme by today's standards. The first descent was in July 1985, and it's been run every year since, generally in the springtime....Corrections to previous comment: (1) Apparently a few kayakers do occasionally venture Gulf Hagas, with a mandatory take-out at Billings Falls. Still very difficult and dangerous, though. (2) Hammond Street Pitch is in Gulf Hagas, at the lower end. (3) Ship Pond Stream is 8 miles from Gulf Hagas by air, but the driving time from Gulf Hagas is well over an hour. (4) There is a Bear Brook that enters Gulf Hagas at the head of the Gulf, but with no direct hiking trail to this brook. (5) There is an Auburn Log Hauling Road east of Silver Lake in the KI / Jo-Mary Multiple Use Forest, near Gulf Hagas. Looks like a scenic hike. (6) Maxtrails' previous reference to 'Lloyd Pond' was probably meant to be 'Long Pond'. Long Pond is close to Gulf Hagas, and is a very pristine, pretty spot. (7) Big Wilson Stream is entirely in Piscataquis County (in Greenville, Elliotsville and Willimantic). A portion is incorrectly listed below as being in Franklin County....
