Location

Canoeing on Trickey Pond.

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). The near-surface temperature is roughly 75 °F (24 °C), while the bottom temperature is about 50 °F (10 °C).
