MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • August 22, 2021
Maine waters are about as warm as they are going to get right now. That means for our August outing we are looking for a good swimming hole. We found one: Upper Narrows and Lower Narrows ponds in Winthrop. As you head out from shore you will look down Upper Narrows and see many cottages along the water. You will hear the sound of passing cars on the road. Don’t despair. Give it a few more minutes and venture south down the pond. The highway noise lessens and you will note that most of the camps are on the eastern shoreline. The sparsely developed western sides of the ponds offer much more of a wilderness experience. ~ Michael Perry
