The Jordan Pond Gatehouse specializes in tea, popovers and home-made ice cream. Andrea approves of the popovers.

Bri and Joel attempting to imitate seals. Chuck says everyone knows flippers point down, not up. Chuck was also disappointed to not see any "windsurfing animals".

The Jordan Pond House.
The original restaurant burnt in 1979 and had to be rebuilt. The Park attempted to retain some of the character of the original building. The Jordan Pond House had been in existence since the mid-1800's when visitors arrived by horse or carriage.

During the summer, you can have tea and popovers on the lawn.
