Size
The pond is only 311 acres (1.26 km2), with a depth of less than 60 feet (18 m). In late summer, the near-surface temperature is roughly 75 °F (24 °C), while the bottom temperature is about 50 °F (10 °C).
Naming
Earlier in the 20th century, the body of water was referred to as Wenonah Pond. The girl's camp, located on the eastern shore, was named and founded during this period. By the late 1960s, the pond was referred to as Trickey pond as private lots were sold on the western banks. The reason for the name change is unknown. The name can be found as a family name in the Gorham/ Windham area. The family established the first sawmill in the area. Check the Gorham historical society.
