Shooting star alert! The 2026 Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight, August 12 into August 13, and this year it lands on a new moon. That means some of the darkest skies in years and up to 90 or more meteors per hour under ideal conditions.

Our new blog covers why western Maine is one of the best places to watch, plus how to plan a family campout under the stars, no telescope required.

Read the stargazing guide in our stories and book your August stay before peak week fills up.

The shipyard opens every Wednesday at Papoose Pond! Our legendary Cardboard Boat Regatta is back for 2026, and our refreshed guide breaks down exactly how to build a boat that floats, races, and wows the crowd.

From duct tape strategy to the actual science of staying afloat, your crew's winning design starts here. Will your boat make it across the pond, or make the biggest splash trying?

Read the full 2026 build guide at the link in stories, then book a midweek stay so your crew is on the beach for race day.

Nightime at the Pond?

It usually means one thing… carousel time. ✨

Our antique carousel is a classic ride that never goes out of style: bright colors, happy music, and that pure kid-laugh kind of joy.

If you haven’t made it part of your evening tradition yet, tonight’s the night. Usually open nightly: 6–7pm

Tell us your favorite carousel memory at Papoose Pond. Then share your best carousel photo in the comments (or tag us in your post)!
