Looking east from Katahdin’s Hamlin Ridge. The view includes North and South Turner Mountains, Blueberry Pond and Blueberry Knoll in the North Basin, Basin Ponds, Dry Pond, South Branch Pond, Katahdin Lake, and the mountains in Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.
The peaks in Baxter State Park visible from the Debsconeag Deadwater, part of the Penobscot River corridor. I made this panorama by taking 10 individual shots in my bouncing kayak and merging them in Lightroom–an easy feat compared to what the river drivers of the past had to do to harvest timber.

The Horserace Pond trail is an easy 4 mile round trip hike in Maine’s Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area. The trail meanders along Horserace Brook and through a stand of old growth hemlock. The pond’s shoreline is dominated by a lush forest of conifers, moss, ferns, and huge granite boulders and cliffs.
Huge granite boulders surround much of the shoreline of Hurd Pond in the Debsconeag Wilderness. Mount Katahdin dominates the landscape in the region. I made this shot from my kayak.
