Pond dipping down into the-10's during winter nights. That right there is a heap already, but it keeps on going; Big Benson Pond has it all. Benson Mountain is delightful and can be distinguished from Big Benson Pond; do go to Benson
Brook since you're here at Big Benson Pond.
Swamps don’t sound that glorious but House Bog close to Big Benson Pond is reasonably glorious, and do visit Lucia Pond, it's a lovely lake. This is no location for people who don’t
like to have fun. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Pittsfield Motor Inn, and you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Big Squaw since you're here.

Gulf Hagas Trail
 | 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.... |
