About Spectacle Pond

Spectacle Pond is a public boat ramp in Hancock County, Maine, on Spectacle Pond. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Hopper Brook and East Branch Union River.

The main water here is East Branch Union River. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8413801, Ellsworth, Union River, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.3 mi from this ramp.
