A Snowy Shorey Park, Bridgton, Maine.

Shorey Park, Bridgton, Maine.

This is the exquisitely beautiful Shorey Park on a snowy December morning in 2016. This is where Stevens Brook enters at the Highland Lake southern shoreline.

When you go there try a little 'industrial archeology' (19th century style) by taking a good look at the remnants of the granite block dam at the “outlet” of Highland Lake. Also, the picturesque bridge at ShoreyPark is the remnant dam of the so called “second power site”.

Each of these historic dams were built to power a concentration of textile, saw, and door & sash mills that once stood at this site upon Stevens Brook. The entire 2.2 mile run of Stevens Brook connecting Highland Lake with Long Lake once boasted eleven power sites and manufacturing industries.
