Island Pond Trail is a short, easy loop in Maine's Deboullie area, managed by State Park and Recreation. The route is about 1.3 miles long, with a low point of 1,248 feet and a high of 1,285 feet. The climb is gentle, with a total elevation gain of about 39 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.74 miles in, where the grade reaches 8 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Allagash weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows near 52°F, though that station sits roughly 700 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Several other trails lie close by. Upper Pond Trail is about half a mile away, and Whitman Ridge and Black Mountain Trail are each within about a mile. Deboullie Loop Trail is about 1.1 miles off.
