there is a fine hiking trail nearby called the Old Gold Mine Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. You could also take a look at Cranberry Pond while you're here at Parks Pond; it's close by, and on a brilliant day you can take a
hike along the Peaked Mountain Trail. The smiling people of Bangor like to hang out nearby. Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this location. There's so much to do here at Parks Pond that you need to camp here for a while, Red
Barn RV Park is a fine place for that, and going for a hike on the Bald Mountain Trail is always a delightful adventure.
This lake is so wonderful. Looking for something right next door to Parks Pond? Debec Pond is close by; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Tannery Brook River.
