Peabody Pond, lake of the United States of America
Peabody Pond is a large body of water in Cumberland County with an irregular V-shaped outline and a shoreline stretching roughly 6 miles. The water reaches depths of up to 64 feet and is surrounded by natural forest and low hills.
The pond was named after Captain John Peabody, an early settler in the area. It has long been used for fishing and boating and remains an important part of the region's water system, connected to the Northwest River and Sebago Lake.
The pond is named after Captain John Peabody, one of the earliest settlers in the South Bridgton area. His name remains connected to this body of water, which today serves as a gathering place for fishing and boating activities.
A public boat launch is located at the southern end near the outlet, accessible from Tiger Hill Road. Visitors should check local boating and fishing rules before coming, especially if planning winter ice fishing or other seasonal activities.
The pond contains two islands, Blueberry Island and Seth Island, which provide quiet spots for bird watching and exploration. These small landmasses interrupt the otherwise open water and give the place a distinctive geographic character.
