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.

Location

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.

Size

The pond is only 311 acres (1.26 km²), with a depth of less than 60 feet (18 m). In late summer, the near-surface temperature is roughly 75 °F (24 °C), while the bottom temperature is about 50 °F (10 °C).

Naming

Earlier in the 20th century, the body of water was referred to as Wenonah Pond. The girl's camp, located on the eastern shore, was named and founded during this period. By the late 1960s, the pond was referred to as Trickey pond as private lots were sold on the western banks. The reason for the name change is unknown. The name can be found as a family name in the Gorham/ Windham area. The family established the first sawmill in the area. Check the Gorham historical society.
