After several years of planning and fundraising, another beautiful piece of Maine has been permanently preserved. Shiloh Pond in Kingfield is a relatively small but pristine pond, described by Brent West of the High Peaks Alliance as a good place for fly fishing and hiking. West said when he was younger and working at nearby Sugarloaf Resort, he would often head to Shiloh Pond after work to hike in and do some fishing. The pond and more than 200 acres of woods around it were part of a larger parcel owned by one local family for many years. When they announced plans to sell, West and the High Peaks Alliance enlisted the help of the Trust for Public Lands to raise the money, buy the land and finally, give it to the town.
