The Tarn is a glacial meltwater lake. It is in a valley between two peaks, Mt. Dorr and Huguenot Head. The lake was primarily used as a trout fishing site, but as the water level has been steadily declining, it is now primarily used as a source of live bait.

The Tarn pond to the east of Dorr Mountain was formed from a glacial meltwater lake. For many years the pond was used to farm trout. The dry summers in the 1990s reduced the water volume and led to an increase in aquatic plants. The pond is now increasingly swampy and is no longer used for fishing. https://www11.maine.gov/ifw/docs/lake-survey-maps/hancock/the_tarn.pdf

The Atlantic bay off Portland is called 'Casco Bay'. The approximately 520 sq km bay is part of the Gulf of Maine and lies between Cape Elizabeth south of Portland and Cape Small, a peninsula in eastern Maine that extends far into the Atlantic.
