A visit to Smith Pond is always a good idea. Don't leave Smith Pond without first going for a hike along the Gulf Hagas Trail It's always wonderful to take a look at Little Wilson Falls. From a precipitation point of view Smith Pond is a pretty normal place; the month of July is the wettest with most of the rain while February is mostly the driest month. No way I can stop, cause I'm havin' a great time here at Smith Pond. After a long day outdoors Lodge at Moosehead

| | Lake is a perfect spot to spend a night or two, and Smith Pond is pleasant enough to spend more than a day at, Northern Pride Lodge and Campground is a pleasant local campground. There's so much to do here at Smith Pond that you need to camp here for a while, Wildwood Shores Campground is a brilliant spot for that, and magnificent hiking is available along the Intake Trail. This lake is so wonderful. What would winter be without some skiing at Big Squaw, | |

and you'll stumble on a striking lake called Prescott Pond. During the days of summer, highs ordinarily are in the 70's at Smith Pond. For the duration of the dark hours of summer temperatures dip down into the 50's. The winter comes
with highs in the 20's, and night lows through the winter for Smith Pond tend to be in the-10's. This lake is so wonderful. There's good hiking along the Number Four Mountain Trail. If you like swamps, you're in luck, Juniper
Knee Bog is right close by, and while you're here, you could also explore beautiful Little Wilson Pond. Indian Stream flows through this region, and you can run the rapids of Big Wilson Stream.

Gulf Hagas Trail
 | 12 miles away 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.... |
