Welcome to PPA's visitors' guide to Panther Pond. If you are new to the Raymond area, we hope you'll find information here that will help you plan your trip. If you will be renting a house on Panther Pond, and the owner or agent has referred you to this site for information, you may find the location of the rental on this map of the lake.
Please see Getting Around for a road map of the lake area.
Here you will find information about boating and fishing, and also some ideas for shopping and other activities in the region. For your own safety and the protection of the lake, please take special note of the pages about invasive plants, about boating laws, and about general health considerations.
For your convenience, we have included a short checklist of Do's and Don't's for a happy and successful vacation at Panther Pond, with additional background information on various topics.
If you are interested in environmental issues, you might enjoy browsing the "local" pages of this web site.
This information is presented by the Panther Pond Association. If you enjoy the beauty, purity, and recreational opportunities offered by the Pond, please consider helping us to keep it one of Maine's finest small lakes. We appreciate your efforts to keep invasive plants and animals out of the lake, to observe responsible boating practices, and to keep the water clean and healthy. We welcome new members to the Panther Pond Association, and we'd be happy to tell you about opportunities for volunteer work on conservation projects around the lake.
Thank you, and enjoy your visit.
- The board and members of the Panther Pond Association.
