Torsey Pond Association TPA

TPA was formed in 1988 to preserve Torsey Pond, its shores and dam for all property owners around the lake, and for the towns of Readfield and Mt. Vernon.

Torsey Pond's Loon Update

2025 Loon Season so far has 3 or 4 territorial pairs.

Loon observations as of the week of June 9th, 2025: Family 1=Two chicks, family 2 and 3 are still nesting. Big, exciting news: the TPA and Maine Audubon joint venture which started in the spring of 2022 to create and install loon nesting platforms has paid off this season! Both loon platform/rafts have nesting loons on them!

Dam Facts:

Pre 1988 the dam located on Old Kents Hill Road by the public boat launch was privately owned. The owner abandoned it. The state of Maine stepped in and needed a lake association to be created to own, operate and maintain the dam. That is how the TPA was formed in 1988. If the TPA did not take on this responsibility the pond would not have stable water levels and the entire ecosystem, of not only Torsey but the whole watershed, would be dramatically impacted.

Your membership dues pay for the maintenance of OUR dam. The operation is conducted by TPA vonlunteers. Each year about two thirds of the property owners on Torsey are members of the TPA. Lets work on making that 100%!

Encourage your neighbors to support the TPA and join our association, renew and donate to OUR pond!
