The 4th edition of The Lake Book is here!

While it’s been quite a wait, we believe you will agree it’s been worth it. This edition is jam-packed with helpful information for all who use, visit, and live on or near Maine’s lakes and ponds. Lake science, lake wildlife, native plants, best management practices for erosion control, and a great list of actions you can take to improve your lake are included in this 64-page edition.

To purchase The Lake Book ($8.50, includes tax and shipping), click here.

You can browse a “flip book” of The Lake Book here.

Or you can download and print your own PDF here.

If you are looking to purchase more than 10 copies, please email us directly at info@lakes.me. And if your lake or watershed association is looking to buy the book in bulk, there are several blank pages inside the book that can be customized with contact information. We'd be happy to work with you on a special order.

The Lake Book is a great gift for new homeowners, would make an excellent birthday gift, and we hope will find its way into home libraries all over the state!
