Wells SP

	The main attraction at Wells SP is Walker Pond, which offers swimming, boating, and fishing. It's a beautiful spot in the early morning sun as the fog slowly lifts off the water. In addition, there are several miles of hiking trails in the park.
	Wells offers 60 shaded sites, located in two camping loops. A number of them, such as Site C at left, are pull-throughs. No hookups are available, but there are fresh water spigots and a dump station. Most recent visit: Sep 2007
	Sites 26 through 55 are located up the hill from the lake. Most of the sites in this loops are for smaller rigs, such as tents, pop-ups, vans and small motorhomes. This is Site 34.
	The lower loop, near the lake, offers sites that a little more open and sunny than those up the hill. These sites can accomodate larger rigs.
	Site 25 is plainly the best site in the park. It's located right on the shore of Walker Pond. On our last visit in Sep '07, we were lucky enough to get one night on it!

	Site 18 overlooks Walker Pond. However there is no direct access to the lake from the site, thanks to the steep banking. It's not far to walk, though, to spots with water access.
	Absaroka is the full-time home of friend Susan Fain. We spent three days at Wells to take care of her four-footed pal Gus while she had to be away for a couple of days. This is Site 1.
	Bruce and Betty Rex, fellow members of the Northeast Lazy Daze Caravan, were here on Site 4.
	Andy & Deb Grimes from Kentucky happened by during our last visit to Wells; here they are on Site 19.
	Site 7 is a very nice spot. It's fairly level, offers a view of the lake and has a nice open area in front of it.
	Available for rent in 2009 will be two new yurts in the upper camping loop.
	Each of the two loops has an older bathhouse, which offers hot showers.
	There's a large pavilion available for rent. Our NorthEast Lazy Daze group used this for a pot luck supper during a weekend caravan.
	Across from the picnic pavilion is a small interpretive center. It has some interesting exhibits for the kids. Unfortunately it has been closed the past two years due to budget problems.
	The park has a very nice beach for swimming. With the trees nearby, it's a great place to spend a hot summer afternoon. Only campers are allowed to swim here, so it doesn't get too crowded.
	Site 2 is a great place for a family, since it's only a few steps away from the beach.
	There are several miles of hiking trails within the park, along with several beaver ponds.
	One of the trails leads up to Carpenters Rock, with a great view out over the park.
	The site of Wells SP was once farmland owned by the Walker family. Walking through the park, one sees the ubiquitous New England stone walls all through the woods.
	Autumn is an especially beautiful time to visit Wells SP. We live just a couple of miles from the park and go there to walk several times a week, even when the campground is closed. Map of Campsites
