Donnell Pond Public Reserved Land Hiking Guide

The Donnell Pond unit is one of the highlights of Maine's Public Reserve Lands, and is a less busy alternative to the nearby Acadia National Park trails. An 8-mile loop trail over two mountains, and two out-and-back mountain trails, along with several ponds and three large lakes, all combine to make this a hidden gem in Downeast Maine. This guide only covers the hiking trails of the public land, as well as the campsites connected by them, but there are also several canoeing options in the area as well (see Maine Bureau of Public Lands' website for more details).
