About Meddybemps Lake

Meddybemps Lake stretches across a vast area in Washington County, Maine, offering anglers and outdoor lovers plenty of space to enjoy nature. Its extensive surface area creates a broad aquatic environment, although its waters remain quite shallow, which influences the lake's character and accessibility. The lake's proximity to the town of Calais and the nearby Cobscook Bay State Park adds to its appeal, situating it within a scenic part of Maine. The shallow depth means the lake warms quickly in summer and supports a unique habitat for the fish species found here.
