Worthley Pond

Worthley Pond in Peru, Oxford County, offers a convenient public boat launch for paddlers and motorboaters in Maine's Western Mountains region. The main improved boat ramp is located along East Shore Road on the pond's southern end, accessible via Route 108 east to Worthley Road. The facility includes parking and a picnic area, making it suitable for family outings. An additional unimproved hand-launch access point is available next to the outlet dam for non-trailered boats like kayaks and canoes.

The pond supports a healthy fishery with largemouth bass, rainbow trout, and brown trout, making it popular with anglers. Beyond fishing, the area is well-suited for recreational paddling, swimming, wildlife watching, and hiking. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and the quiet pond environment offers peaceful water conditions ideal for casual kayaking and canoeing. From Peru, allow approximately 2-3 miles of driving time to reach the access points via Route 108 and Worthley Road.
