     Bragdon Brook is a scenic stream that is worth a visit, and you can always enjoy a lazy day on the beach at Birchhead Shore. This is no spot for people who don’t like to have fun. That right there is a heap already, but it continues; Salt Pond has it all. You can run the rapids of Blue Hill Falls next to Salt Pond; you acquire a delightful view of Blue Hill from here. This lake is so wonderful. On a tremendous day you can check out Albion Meadow, a swamp in the  
   vicinity of Salt Pond, and of course, this is a great neighborhood for people who like lakes, Mother Bush Pond is a lake in the vicinity.
This lake is so wonderful. Hiking along the Blue Hill Trail is great fun, and if you need a site to stay Homestead Motel and Cottages is a glorious choice. Throughout the months of summer at Salt Pond temperatures are usually in the 70's. Once the sun is down it sinks down to the 50's. High temperatures through the wintertime
 
               are normally in the 20's with winter lows in the 0's overnight here at Salt Pond. Salt Pond is a good place of normal rainfall; November is the month that gets the most rain, and February on the other hand is the driest.

No good fishing in this pond.  Don't waste your time.  No one goes here because it is polluted and no good fishing. Unless you like catching sunnies.  Was run out by a guy named Ed.  For a real pond adventure save your time and money and go nort....

Beech Mountain West Ridge Trail
16 miles away
...u go higher (imagine that?), although the trail alternates between wooded and fairly open rock, meaning that the good views are sporadic.

After 6/10 of a mile you'll come to a trail intersection. The Beach Mountain Loop trail heads left (north) towards the parking area off of Beech Hill Road. You'll want to go to the right/straight, where you can make the final 1/10 of a mile push to the summit of Beech.

The last 1/10 of a mile is pretty easy going, compared to the ascent to this point. With about 100 yards to go you'll come across a small structure on your right that looks to be the former privy for the occupants of the fire tower on top of the mountain. The fire tower on top, incidentally, is abandoned and barred to entry, but you can still climb up one level to get even better views. And it only makes sense that a mountain with a fire tower on top is going to have great views, which Beech Mountain does. The hiker gets almost a 360 degree view, with the only direction really blocked being to the northwest. Very impressive views of Mansell Mountain and the Western Moun...

White Birches Campground
16 miles away
We went there in September, but, it seemed like an ideal, quiet place for hikers who may want to get off the beaten track on a very commercial island. The showers were clean, the sites were clean and it was not the most expensive. Forewarned, the shuttle bus doesn't go there, price to pay for remoteness....
