Alewife Pond Description

Uncharacteristic of ponds in York County
the shoreline surrounding Alewife Pond remains undeveloped, except for the presence of a single camp near the outlet. This shallow weedy pond provides excellent habitat for listed principal fisheries and offers a truly
unique "wilderness" fishing experience in one of Maine's most densely populated counties.
Although a small band of cool water
occurs on the bottom of Alewife Pond, this
area is deficient in oxygen during the late
summer months. Competition from warm water fish and unsuitable summer water quality
effectively limit opportunities to manage for
coldwater fish.
Although Alewife Pond is best managed for
existing warmwater fisheries, experimental
stocking of legal size brook trout were
undertaken in 1999 to expand winter and spring angling opportunities in this heavily
populated region.
Public access is available across
property owned by the Kennebunk Land Trust
which is located off the.Cole .Road. A small
parking area is located just off the Cole
Road, providing enough space for several
vehicles to park. Anglers must walk
approximately 1 mile to reach the pond from
the designated parking area.
