Jordan Pond is an oligotrophic tarn in Acadia National Park near the town of Bar Harbor, Maine. The pond covers 187 acres (76 ha) to a maximum depth of 150 feet (46 m) with a shoreline of 3.6 miles (5.8 km).[4][3][5]
The pond was formed by the Wisconsin Ice Sheet during the last glacial period. Penobscot Mountain (1194 ft) rises to the west, while Pemetic Mountain (1247 ft) rises to the east. Two roche moutonnées known as The Bubbles (North and South) rise above the northeastern shoreline. The southern end is constrained by glacial debris and an artificial dam.[4][5][2][6]
The pond has clear water, with visibility normally 44 feet (13.4 m)[7] and occasionally recorded up to 61 feet (18.6 m),[3] the deepest recordings in Maine.[7] The pond exhibits high levels of dissolved oxygen, and low levels of plant nutrients and plant life.[3]
Some types of boating are permitted, but people and pets are prohibited from entering the water as it is the water supply for the village of Seal Harbor.[8][3]
