What we see on our Maine road-less-traveled walks

May. 62020

In the midst of rapidly changing directives surrounding the cononavirus response, more people are taking walks around the roads less traveled — or even the roads well traveled. Avoiding frost heaves and the occasional pothole, there are bound to be views one doesn’t see or note while driving or even biking. Here are a few from a recent stroll.
Readers — do you know where this is?
This little out-of-the-way boat landing has access to both a lake and a stream, and is popular with hunters, fishermen and women, bird-watchers and kayakers.
[Answer is at the bottom].

There’s a nice lake right down this channel.
The view from the north side of the road is up Bog Stream.
There’s a nice kiosk with information, as well as providing a spot to get out of the rain.
The kiosk is dedicated to a long-time area resident who had a season place on nearby North Pond.

This view shows the boat landing on Bog Stream on the North Shore and Bog roads on the Mercer-Smithfield line. Bot Stream is to the north, and the south branch leads to North Pond.
