A copy negative of a postcard of Lovewell Pond showing a shoreline beach, large boulder and a canoe in the distance. The boulder is painted graffitti style with "Lovewell's Lake, Fryeburg, Maine" "Lovewell Pond is a sizable body of water located in southeastern Fryeburg, Maine. It has a moderately developed shoreline with approximately 75-80 buildings, not including approximately 35 others with access rights to the pond's shoreline. It is the second largest pond in Oxford County. It is about 1,120 acres (450 ha). Lovewell Pond does, however, fluctuate largely in size due to its annual flooding phenomenon. It is the drainage basin for many small streams including Fight Brook and Mill/Wards Brook, but mainly the Saco River, which acts as both an inlet and outlet for the pond. When the Saco River floods, the water, which normally flows out, reverses direction and flows into the pond, causing it to rise. This flooding is an unusual characteristic for a pond." -- source Wikipedia 2020
