The McWain Pond Association is a community of homeowners who live on or near the shores of McWain Pond in Waterford, Maine. Our mission is to preserve the water quality of the pond and protect the natural environment for future generations.
We are proud to work closely with the Lakes Environmental Association (LEA). Our most significant initiative is the Watershed Survey, developed and implemented with support from local and state agencies.

🎇 Fourth of July Fireworks Display
⏰ Time: 9:15 PM
📍 Location: Over the lake at McWain Point
Fireworks will be provided for all to enjoy! Donations are warmly welcomed, with 100% of proceeds going to the Waterford Church’s Friends in Need Fund, which directly supports members of our local community.
Thanks to the generosity of our neighbors, over $20,000 has been raised to date — including past efforts that helped send Veterans to Washington, DC to visit their memorials. An incredible cause made possible by this community.
Let’s continue the tradition and support the Friends in Need Fund together. ✨
