Column: At Hancock Pond, enjoy the views, wildlife and a peaceful paddle

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • October 22, 2023

If you enjoy towering pines, both red and white, head to Hancock Pond in the towns of Sebago and Denmark. We recently enjoyed a four-hour circumnavigation of the hourglass-shaped pond; dipping in and out of secluded coves, marveling at the long ridgeline of Pleasant Mountain 7 miles to the northwest, peering westward for glimpses of the Presidential Range in New Hampshire. ~ Michael Perry
