Question 5

What is California Pond and what activities are available?

Accepted Answer

California Pond, located in Aroostook County, Maine, spans 128 acres with a maximum depth of 5 feet. This shallow, silt-bottomed pond is ideal for supporting baitfish populations. While summer water temperatures generally become too warm for most coldwater gamefish, a few brook trout manage to persist in areas influenced by cool springs. The shoreline features flooded tamarack and cedar, shaped by a beaver dam at the outlet, adding to the pond's unique character.

The pond lacks major tributaries, with only a few small trickles entering at the upper end. These are further impounded by beaver flowages, creating a boggy environment that limits the outlet stream's usefulness for brook trout. While side trickles offer nursery areas, they lack the gravel necessary for effective spawning. The pond's ecosystem is heavily influenced by competition from suckers, minnows, and bullheads, which also impacts its suitability for trout stocking.

Accessible via a gravel road followed by a short quarter-mile walk through the woods, California Pond provides a secluded and serene setting. Its rich biodiversity and natural charm make it a peaceful destination for those looking to explore Maine's hidden aquatic landscapes.
