Image shows a stretch of Square Pond in Shapleigh, Maine. The end of a wooden pier extends from the left of the frame in the foreground. Trees cover a peninsula or one end of an island further back. In the distance, a racing sloop (roughly 18-20' LOA) tacks across the water on a beam reach with a crew of 4-5 people aboard. Square Pond lies roughly 30 miles north of Kittery near the western Maine border. The shallow pond covers 877 acres and feeds into Mousam lake to the south. Numerous cabins and cottages cluster along its 10.8 mile shoreline; it's a popular vacation and fishing spot.
