Exploring Close to Home
We get out on Long Pond about 4-5 times a week. It’s definitely our favorite of all the lakes in the Belgrade Lakes region, but we’re bias because that’s where we live. Today we opted to paddle south of Castle Island out to the Kettle Hole pond behind Lake Ridge Road. It’s a cool are only accessible by paddle craft. As you follow the small stream laced with Beaver activity and wildlife, you meander a little ways until it opens up. The pond it opens up to is fairly large and you feel like you’re in a completely different area than Long Pond.
It’s an area we explore once a year or so and it’s always peaceful back there.
