"Duck Brook is not visited now as much as in the older days, when its woody glens were resorted to by many parties of ramblers. It is something over two miles from the outflow at Eagle Lake to the pretty little cove at its mouth. A dim wood road diverges from the Corniche Road, a quarter of a mile beyond the Duck Brook bridge, and runs about half the way up the valley of Duck Brook, to a point under Great Pond Hill. The usual route for ramblers is up the path which leaves the highway at the Duck Brook bridge, and by which one can ascend to the water works dam, and come out near Eagle Lake. The best of the scenery lies below the dam; and a pleasant reconnaissance [Sic] may be made up Witch Hollow Brook (coming in on the north, not far from the bridge), to the lonely pond in the glen above.” -Sweetser, Moses Foster. Chisholm’s Mount-Desert Guide-Book (Chisholm Brothers, 1888) p. 32-33
