Fishing for landlocked salmon on Pierce Pond in Pierce Pond Township, Somerset County, Maine (May 25, 2026)

 

 

Pierce Pond is a 1,650-acre body of water located in Pierce Pond Township, Somerset County, Maine, to the east of Flagstaff Lake (see The Maine Atlas and Gazetteer map 30 A2). I access it via Cobbs Camp Road (a rough and narrow – but drivable – gravel road) located off Carrying Place Road (a wide logging road) which splits off from Long Falls Dam Road. Beware that Cobbs Camp Road is gated and only open during daylight hours. Passage is free for guests staying at Cobb’s Pierce Pond Camps; day users pay a small user’s fee to park and launch their boat at the dock in Lindsay Cove. Anglers can access the water for free at the northern tip of the lake via a rough boat launch.
