Public Water Supply

Like many deep cold water lakes in Maine, Floods Pond supplies about 4,000,000 gallons of water a day to the City of Bangor and surrounding towns. The outlet of Floods, called Tannery Brook was home to a breeding Brooke Trout population, but in order to stabilize the water level of the pond, it was dammed several years ago, which all but elimated the brooke trout population. Floods was also open to public fishing, but has since been closed.
