The pond hosts nesting pairs of Loon, Osprey, and Great Blue Heron. Occasionally, a Bald Eagle is spotted soaring high over the Pond.

Martin Meadow Pond is spring-fed and has approximately 118 acres of irregular shape. The deepest point is approximately 30 feet. It is surrounded by Mount Orne, Mount Pleasant, and Mount Prospect to the north and east, which form the watershed for the pond. The Presidential Range of the White Mountains lies at a distance to the southeast. The shoreline is all privately owned and populated by seasonal residences.

The Pond was used by settlers in the early 1700s as a source for hunting, fishing, and trapping. The Town History book talks about an early gold mine, somewhere in the area, which never flourished.

Beavers reside in a hut in the inlet and are often seen paddling along the shoreline to/from their “work”. Large game animals are often seen in the area: moose, black bear, deer, and wild turkey.
