    Hiking

    Sargent Mountain Pond is located between the peaks of the Penobscot and Sargent Mountains at an altitude of approximately 365 meters and is considered to be the first lake to form in the landscape of the US state of Maine after the last ice age around 16,600 years ago.
    A core sample taken from the bottom of Sargent Mountain Pond supports this theory.

    Geologists hypothesis that Sargent Mountain Pond is Maine's oldest lake, one of many formed by glacial activity after the last ice age. It sits in a bowl of granite adjacent Acadia's second highest peak, and provides an excellent picnic location in the summer.
