Jordan Pond from South Bubble - a photo on Flickriver

            Jordan Pond was formed by an ice sheet and is kept as a freshwater pond by a moraine, seen here, as well as a small dam.  

The lake reaches a maximum depth of 150' and has 3.6 miles of shoreline.  With visibility that can go as deep as 60' (note the clearly visible quillwort/pondweed in the lower left) it's a unique geographic feature in Maine, and a frequently visited part of Mount Desert Island.  

The Jordan Pond House (toward the upper left of the frame, here), was originally built as a farmhouse, but transformed into a restaurant, made famous by summer events held by the Titans of the Gilded Age: the Rockefellers, Morgans, Fords, Vanderbilts, Carnegies, and Astors.

After the Great Depression, World War II and a calamitous fire in 1947, the restaurant became a popular tourist stop in what became known in 1929 as Acadia National Park.

It's far more common to see images of the place I'm standing to take this shot - 'The Bubbles' from the Jordan Pond House vantage.  I must admit, I did not find my way to that location.  I had a limited afternoon in this portion of the park, and with it being the first 70° day in this part of Maine, this year, I took advantage to hike the mountain for the great vista.  It is easy to see why Acadia was the first National Park designated in the Eastern United States.  If you have an opportunity, I highly recommend a visit!
