Fishing for brown trout and brook trout on Worthley Pond in Poland, Androscoggin County, Maine (August 30, 2025)

 

The public access point is obstructed by cement blocks. Only hand-carried craft can be launched from this location.

 

Worthley Pond is a 42-acre body of water located in Poland, Androscoggin County, Maine (see The Maine Atlas and Gazetteer map 5 A3). The public access point is located at the northern tip of the pond. From route 122, turn on Worthley Pond Road and hang a right at the Y. After that split, the road has two deep dips that fill up with water after a rainstorm. They look daunting when full and when approached in a smaller vehicle but are safe to drive through because the substrate at the bottoms of these dips is solid. Note that the Maine Atlas and Gazetteer shows a trailerable boat launch. That information is inaccurate. The access point has been obstructed for years with large cement blocks which only allow passage to hand-carried craft. Plenty of parking is available by the launch area.

Fishing for brook trout on Worthley Pond in Poland, Androscoggin County, Maine (October 19, 2024)

 

The public launch at the northern end of Worthley Pond only allows for hand-carried craft.

 

Worthley Pond is a 42-acre body of water located in Poland, Androscoggin County, Maine (see The Maine Atlas and Gazetteer map 5 A3). To reach the public access point from Route 26, turn onto Route 122 towards Auburn, drive for 1.4 miles passed the signage for Range Pond State Park, and turn right on Worthley Pond Road. Drive down that road for 0.2 miles; it is rough in spots but drivable all the way with a regular car. The access to the pond is on the left. Beware that The Maine Atlas and Gazetteer – at least my 2019 version – shows that the launch can accommodate trailed boats. That was true in the past but is no longer the case. The access has been obstructed for years by two large cement blocks so that only hand-carried craft can be launched from this location.
