Witch Hole Pond was part of the first land donation to Acadia National Park. The area was ravaged by a fire in 1947, and harbors the ruins of an old estate, saw mill, quarry, and horse stables. The name "Witch Hollow" was around long before then, and its origins are a mystery.

Witch Hole Pond can be found on the Witch Hole Pond Carriage Road. While access to the pond is restricted, you can find beautiful views there especially during the autumn months when the trees are changing colours.
