In this view looking out onto Square Pond in Shapleigh, Maine, a sandy beach occupies the foreground; from the beach, a pier stretches out into the water, and two small motorboats are moored just offshore. Nearby, a cottage stands near a sheltering peninsula, with its own pier and motorboat. 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.
