Somes Pond is a cute little pond to the
west of Somesville center. Route 102
goes right by it on the pond's south side. Waters flow easterly towards Somes
Sound.
Somesville, the oldest settlement on Mount
Desert Island (dating from 1761), is a picturesque little village
located at the northern end of Somes Sound - the only fjord on the East
coast of the United States. Somesville is actually not a township at
all but part of the municipality of Mount Desert whose office is located
in Northeast Harbor (confused yet?). |
