     Some of the water nearby flows, like Black Brook, and nearby you hit upon the Big Spencer Mountain Trail which is a splendid hiking trail. So much cool stuff to do at Black Pond, so little time. Longley Pond is a perfect lake near Black Pond. There's whitewater on Ellis Brook for all you thrill seekers; a beautiful lake like Brandy Pond is a tremendous spot to stop at. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Caucomgomoc  
   Stream, and there is a tremendous hiking trail nearby called the Telephone Trail.
High temperatures at Black Pond throughout the summertime are in the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures plunge down into the 50's.

The amount of rain that falls at Black Pond is close to the national average; July is the month that gets the most rain, and the
 
               driest month of the year is February. This lake is so wonderful. What would winter be without some skiing at Big Squaw, and the Carry Trail is a great hiking trail close by.

Chesuncook Lake

I worked two summers for Great Northern Paper Company on Chesuncook Lake.  1967 and 68 were two of the last years the drive existed as it was replaced in the early 70's by truckers.  Also worked at Ripogenus Dam sluicing pulp into the Millinocket River and followed the wood down toward Millinocket.  Slept, ate in the Boom House.  Winston Morse was our boss the first year and Bert McBernie the second.  Nelson Lavasseur was the overall boss of the drive.  Chesuncook then could at times be covered by pulp wood often being towed down lake by the Edward Hilton a 70' tow boat that moved about 1/2 mile an hour under load....
