Nothing Rotten in the Town of Denmark, Maine

By
Real Estate Agent with Anne Plummer and Associates

Denmark is a small, but attractive village located in the southwestern hills of Maine, close by the New Hampshire border. Over 1000 people call Denmark home, but the summer population swells considerably with the vacationers who come to visit the many clean ponds in Denmark and enjoy a slower and more relaxing pace of life.

The main bodies of water found here are Moose Pond, Hancock Pond and Sand Pond (aka Walden Pond). Lesser ponds are Granger, Long, and Pickerel.

Denmark attracts vacationers in winter as well as summer as it is close by the Shawnee Peak ski area, is criss-crossed by abundant snowmobile trails, and provides ample opportunities for cross country skiing.
