     Pingree Pond is a nearby lake that you could stop at, and Campbell Hill is clearly visible from Bennett Pond. And if that's not sufficient, there's heaps more to do close to Bennett Pond. Have a tremendous hiking adventure along the Gulf Hagas Trail, and needless to say Lowell Brook flows through this neighborhood. Pingree Dam is worth stopping at while you're here; a lake close by is Greenleaf Pond. All the water falling down from the sky makes Bennett Pond  
   a wet location; during July this area sees the most rain; February is when it's the driest.
A splendid location to camp here at Bennett Pond is Balsam woods Campground; dry warm beds await you at Pittsfield Motor Inn. This lake is so wonderful. A golf course in the vicinity of Bennett Pond is Piscataquis Country Club, and there are some nice whitewater spots on Kingsbury Stream. Through the long summer days at Bennett Pond temperatures are typically in the
 
               70's. Throughout the dark hours of summer temperatures dip down into the 50's. The cold days of the wintertime come with highs in the 20's, and nighttime lows in the-10's for Bennett Pond.
This lake is so wonderful. If you need a place to stay Lodge at Moosehead Lake is a great choice. Camping is available at Wildwood Shores Campground, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Piscataquis River.

Gulf Hagas Trail
18 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....

Eaton Mountain
25 miles away
3 PHOTOS
Eaton Mountain provides affordable and convenient skiing, snowboarding, and snowtubing to the greater Waterville/Skowhegan area. The mountain boasts a suprising variety of terrain for a compact ski area including glades, challenging steeps, and classic New England style trails. Most of the area is covered with snowmaking and is lit for nightskiiing. Equipment rentals and lessons are available. The base lodge has a snackbar and provides a place to warm up by the wood stove and meet friends.
The ski area has new owners as of November 2008 and will not be operating for the 2008-09 ski season. The new owners will be taking the time to make improvements and prepare for a grand reopening in the fall of 2009. Immediate improvements are planned to include an all new snowtubing facility and widening of the Moose slope for a new terrain park.
The ski area is located on Lambert Road, just off Route 2 between Skowhegan and Canaan....
