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.

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).
