     There's perfect hiking along the Abol Trail, and a great spot for whitewater paddling is Nesowadnehunk Stream. This lake is so wonderful. Don't leave Jackson Pond without first going for a hike along the Blue Trail. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Jackson Pond has to offer, you can camp at Frost Pond Campground. A typical amount of precipitation falls here at Jackson Pond; during July this area sees the most rain, and the driest month is February.  
   Jackson Pond is not the only site close by, Little Beaver Pond is a close by lake; everyone close by loves skiing at Big Squaw.
Get your heart pumping on the tremendous whitewater of Penobscot River - West Branch, and a short spree to Big Ambejackmockamus Falls is always worthwhile. All through the warmest time of the year, highs frequently are in the 70's at Jackson Pond, and throughout the night it cools down to the 50's. The winter brings highs down
 
               to the 20's, and winter nights come with lows in the-10's to Jackson Pond. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Econo Lodge Inn & Suites.
Jackson Pond beyond doubt is in the middle of a picturesque outdoors paradise. There's so much to do here at Jackson Pond that you need to camp here for a while, Chimney Pond Campground is a perfect site for that, and you acquire a wonderful view of Sentinel Mountain from here. The Abot Trail offers hiking at its best, obviously you could also have a look at Celia Pond if you're here; it's not far at all.

Chesuncook Lake
17 miles away
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....
