Maine is home to many beautiful and stunning outdoor locations and attractions, but when the weather is right, nothing sounds better than spending the day at a natural pool! Near Fryeburg, Maine, Blueberry Mountain is located in Evans Notch, and with a short 2.5-mile round-trip hike, Rattlesnake Pool is an amazing pool with crystal clear water. The pool also features a waterfall and is surrounded by beautiful green forest.

With its clear sapphire-blue waters, Rattlesnake Pool could be the best end-of-hike reward in all of Maine! You'll begin your hike walking through open fields before traveling into the woods where Rattlesnake Pool can be found.

Remember, Rattlesnake Pool gets its water from an underground spring. This means that the water in the pool is always cold, and while refreshing in the summer, remember to bring a towel!
