Some of the best ideas don't come from boardrooms. They come from a still summer morning on a Maine lake, when the mist is hovering over the water and the only sound is the haunting call of a loon.
For our family, that lake is Panther Pond in Raymond, Maine. It's where our kids learned to swim, where friendships deepened over bonfires and boat rides, and where time slows down in the best possible way.

It is the true sound of a Maine summer.
The dock behind you. The water flat to the far shore. A loon-shaped float drifting wherever the breeze takes it, and nowhere you need to be. The Loon Float is for that afternoon.
Anyone who has spent a summer on a Maine lake knows the call, long and hollow, carrying a long way over still water.
Each spring, Maine’s loons head back to the lakes from the coast, and the pairs find each other again. Loons nest close to the shore of clear, quiet lakes. We’re guests on their water.
If you meet one, give it room. Keep your distance from nests, and keep lead tackle out of the lake.
We are the same family behind Maine Lakes Vacation — luxury lake house rentals on the shores of Panther Pond and Coffee Pond in Maine's Sebago Lakes Region. Sharing the magic of lake life with others has always been at the heart of what we do.
The Loon Float is one more way we're bringing a little piece of that magic to lakes everywhere. Whether you're on a Maine lake, a backyard pool, or anywhere in between — we hope it brings you the same joy that a real loon brings to us every single year.
The loon returns to Panther Pond every spring without fail. We built something we hope does the same — showing up, summer after summer, exactly as it should be.
