Mid Coast Lake Region
Richardson Lake, Umbagog Lake

One of northern New England’s finest treasures is the beautiful lakes that form the Rangeley Region. Lake Umbagog, Aziscohos, Parmachenee, Cupsuptic, Mooselookmeguntic, Richardson and Rangeley, are like a string of pearls that glisten with clear water and mountain scenery.

The Richardson's Lake area consists of Upper and Lower Richardson Lake, which extends approximately 17 miles in length. The crystal clear water supports a wide variety of water birds including loons, ducks, geese, hawks, and eagles.

These lakes are also home to many islands, some small and some large. The waterfront areas consist of rocky shorelines and sandy beaches where the visitor may set up camp and enjoy the wilderness. Boating of all types, motorboats, canoes, sailboats, kayaks, etc. is very popular as well. Fishing is a popular pastime and the lake boasts trout, salmon, and bass to name a few.

It is quite possible that the visitor will also be treated with a glimpse of moose or deer in their natural habitat. The scenery is spectacular, as is the atmosphere!

One of the most pleasurable features of the Umbagog area in the Fall is the fantastic foliage provided free from nature's paint palette.

Additional Lake Resources PEARL is supported through a collaboration of research, management, and citizen-volunteer organizations, and is a superb example of cooperative stewardship. It is a searchable data base for Maine lakes created in collaboration between the University of Maine and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). This resource will not only provide environmental information, but will be a place where you can search specific lakes by name and their exact location using interactive maps and tools.
