Exploring Maine’s many small lakes and ponds can be stimulating outdoor adventures. Small, narrow bodies of water with numerous islands, coves and inlets that are habitats for a variety of birds and wildlife are particularly appealing. Recently, we’ve had the good fortune to explore Pitcher, Moxie and Runaround ponds. When our friend Bruce Weik recommended Branch Pond in Palermo, we were enthusiastic about giving it a try. ~ Ron Chase
