링컨 카운티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 호수

The Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust maintain a number of preserves and ponds here along Old Country road. Crooked Farm Preserve stands out in particular due to their partnership with the Carpenter's Boat Shop. The boat shop runs an annual 9 month boat building apprenticeship from March through November.

Damariscotta Lake State Park is located on the North side of the lake, just outside of Jefferson. The park is a great place to head in the summer for swimming, picnicking, grilling, and paddling. Cycling here is a great idea in the summer because parking is limited and fills up quickly.

I camped by the lake on a bike tour a few years ago. It was a lovely, quiet and clean spot, with a privy and picnic table. I took a dip in the pond, and charged my phone at the pavilion. Highly recommend!

There are a bunch of different trails leaving from the Hidden Valley Nature Center. With back country campsites out near Little Dyer Pond, you'll most likely only see a few overnight hikers and have the rest of the trails to yourself.

There is an intertwined trail system at Dodge Point Preserve. You get to run past the Ice Pond, multiple coves, and along the shores of the river. These are popular trails, and you can even access the longer River Link Trail from here.

At Dodge Point, you'll find an extensive network of hiking trails. You'll pass Ice Pond, where ice was once “harvested”, as well as old farm roads and many old stone walls left over from ranchers' property lines. Towering red pines dominate much of the forest. The Shore Trail runs along the banks of the Damariscotta River and offers beautiful views.

At beautiful Lobster Cove and Appalachee Preserve, you'll hike through forests, meadows and past marshes. It's especially beautiful when the wildflowers are blooming in springtime.
