History
Megunticook Lake in Camden is cherished by the community, in large part because of the amount of undeveloped shore front that offers many good places to swim, picnic, fish, and enjoy. Coastal Mountains Land Trust has four preserves on the Lake, Fernalds Neck (trails on pages 34–35) and its Hattie Lamb section, McPheters, Echo Island, and Richard’s Wildlife (Pine and Little Pine Islands). The latter three were donated by the Bok, Simpkins, and Ledwith families, have no trails, and are only accessed via boat. Land’s End, a Town of Camden property, has a number of great areas with picnic tables along the lakeshore. Start from one of two public launch sites to access any (or all) of these great sites. Echo, Pine, and Little Pine Islands are seasonally closed for loon nesting from April 1 to July 15.
