Damariscotta Lake State Park

Located in Jefferson, a short drive from the state’s capitol, Augusta, Damariscotta Lake State Park is one of midcoast Maine’s most popular day-use parks.

Enjoy boating and fishing for bass and trout on this 13-mile-long freshwater lake. The sandy beach is perfect for sunbathing, swimming and making sandcastles. Of course a trip to a state park wouldn’t be complete without a picnic lunch. Picnic tables and grills are available for this popular summertime activity. The group picnic shelter at this park is equipped with electricity, running water and a group grill. To reserve the group shelter during the summer months, contact the park staff. Visitors will want to arrive early on warm summer days as parking is limited.
