Pleasant Pond

Pleasant Pond in Caratunk offers a public boat launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to access this scenic Somerset County water body. The facility features a concrete boat ramp with improved parking for both trailers and vehicles. The pond is fed by several streams including Potters Brook to the north and Maggotty Meadow Brook to the south, with Cobbossee Stream also entering at the north end, making it a connected water system worth exploring.

The ramp has undergone major renovations in recent years and is now fully reopened to the public. Paddlers should be aware that the facility is relatively modest in size—it's designed for small to medium-sized boats and can accommodate a limited number of watercraft at once. This makes it ideal for casual day trips and smaller group outings rather than high-volume launch operations. Check ahead for current amenities, parking availability, and any applicable fees before visiting.
