Trickey Pond Description
Trickey Pond is the most transparent lake that LEA tests. The average clarity, as measured by a Secchi Disk, is over 33 feet deep. The pond has a relatively small watershed and is probably fed largely through underground springs. This would help account for Trickey’s excellent clarity, as much of the water entering would have already been “filtered” through the ground. Trickey Pond is managed for both coldwater and warmwater fish species. The pond produces high quality landlocked salmon, and provides good habitat for adult brook trout, lake trout and splake. Because of limited spawning habitat, these coldwater fish populations are primarily maintained by the state stocking program. Chain pickerel and yellow perch populations have declined since the introduction of lake trout, and smallmouth bass are now the principle warmwater sport fish. There is public access off of Rt. 114.
Trickey Pond is a pond in the U.S. State of Maine. At its deepest, it is 55 feet (17 m) deep. The lack of serious pollution in the area contributes to the remarkable clearness. At most points in the pond, the entire depth can be seen.
Trickey Pond is located between Sebago Cove and Brandy Pond, both in the town of Naples. Although there are outlets of water into Sebago Cove and Sebago Lake which flow continuously, the pond has no visible inlets, suggesting Trickey has some active springs. There are two access points: one at the north end, one at the south. Trickey Pond is also home to Camp Skylemar, a summer camp for boys. The camp's waterfront includes swimming lanes, a large inflatable iceberg, waterskiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, and canoeing.
The pond is only 311 acres (1.26 km2), with a depth of less than 60 feet (18 m). The near-surface temperature is roughly 75 °F (24 °C), while the bottom temperature is about 50 °F (10 °C).
