The Maine Natural Areas Program notes two Natural Communities of import on the property, a mixed hardwood conifer forest on the south shore of Dam Pond, and an oak-beech forest on the south side of Tolman Pond. This Wildlife Management Area (WMA) provides excellent habitat for a variety of wading birds and waterfowl, with wetlands making up much of its area. The trails are a hidden gem for mountain bikers or for those looking to highlight their hike with a dip in a refreshing and clean Maine pond. Snowmobiles and ATVs are allowed on most of the trails, as designated by the signage at the property. Spectacle Pond provides excellent swimming. The trails provide opportunities for hiking, bird watching, mountain biking, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, and trapping. There are several miles of foot trails through classic Maine forest to the north and northeast of the pond (easiest access is by parking on Cross Hill Road).Īlong the west side of the pond, a jeep/snowmobile trail runs south through thicker vegetation, eventually moving away from the pond and turning west to meet up with Church Hill Road once again. The road, which ends at a parking area at the lake's north end, is normally accessible for all vehicles, but after a heavy rain, has one spot that is only passable in vehicles with higher clearance. The lake can be accessed by car during summer months via a dirt road (gated in winter) off Church Hill Road. The North Garcelon parcel of the Garcelon Wilderness Management Area is situated around the picturesque and remote-feeling Spectacle Pond. ![]()
