A long, narrow body of water that features interesting rock formations and plenty of beaver activity, First Pond is the lowermost of a chain of four ponds in the town of Blue Hill. These ponds — First, Second, Third and Fourth — are connected by Carleton Stream. A public hand-carry boat launch is located at the south end of First Pond, providing access for small boats such as kayaks and canoes when the water level is high enough.
