  • Geologic Site of the Month: Why Is Sebago Lake So Deep?
    Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Maine Geologic Facts and Localities February, 1999 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? 43° 51‘ 13.36“ N, 70° 33‘ 43.98“ W Text by Robert A. Johnston Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 1 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Introduction Modern geophysical equipment allows geologists to investigate previously unmapped environments, including ocean and lake floors. Recent geophysical research studied the types, composition, areal extent, and thickness of sediments on the bottom of Sebago Lake in southwestern Maine. Geologists used side- scan sonar and seismic reflection profiling to map the bottom of the lake. Approximately 58 percent of the lake bottom was imaged with side-scan sonar and over 60 miles of seismic reflection profiles were collected. This web site will discuss the findings of the seismic reflection profiling. Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 2 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Physiographic setting Sebago Lake, although second in surface area to Moosehead Lake, is Maine's deepest lake. With a water depth of 316 feet, its deepest part is 49 feet below sea level! Sebago Lake is located in southwestern Maine 20 miles northwest of Portland and 50 miles southeast of the White Mountains. It lies along the transition between the Central Highlands and the Coastal Lowlands physiographic regions of New England (Figure 1). The abrupt change in landscape can be seen in panoramic views from several vantage points near Sebago Lake. Denny, 1982 Denny, Maine Geological Survey From From Figure 1.

Providing public access to these bodies of water is extremely impor- tant to us because we want both residents and visitors alike to enjoy them to the fullest. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay. How you conduct yourself on Maine’s waters will go a long way in de- termining whether new access points can be obtained since only a fraction of our waters have dedicated public access.

  • Motor Camping Through Maine
    View metadata, citation andbrought similar to you bypapers CORE at core.ac.uk provided by Maine State... MOTOR CAMPING THROUGH MAINE Typical Camp Site Maintained by State Forestry Department DISTRIBUTED BY STATE OF MAINE PUBLICITY BUREAU PORTLAND. MAINE UNDER THE PINES OF MAINE HE people of Maine, because of somewhat unsatisfactory experi­ ence developed in other states, have not gone into the establish­ ment of State or municipal camp­ ing sites on a large scale, believing that is was best to proceed slowly that the health of hundreds of thousands of motor­ ists who come into the State for their vacation each summer, as well as of those who live in Maine the year ’round should be properly safeguarded. Some of the cities have opened free municipal camping grounds, having in mind proper attention to sanitation, toilet facilities, places for cooking, police pro­ tection and grounds supervision. Unlike many other parts of the country where you journey for hundreds of miles with no change of scene, Maine offers a new vista every half-hour of motor travel. As the State is made up of a succession of attractive resort places, good hotels, camps and farm boarding places are found in every city, village and hamlet, along the seacoast or beside the waters of lakes and streams. For that reason the motor camper is offered ample oppor­ tunity to get “under cover” at any stage of the journey and many of the hotels have found that it pays them to offer every encouragement to the motor camper who finds that a comfortable bed, a well ordered table and a fireplace in the eve­ ning add much to the pleasure of a vaca­ tion outing.

Page 10 Summer 2014 Free LEA Lake News The Maine Lake Science Center – Now a Reality by Peter Lowell LEA Board Votes to Buy the Science Center Property As kids growing up on Highland Lake, we never saw algae clouds that look like green cotton candy. The sand and gravel of the lake bottom was always clean and the rocks were clear of sediment. Unfortunately, these simple indicators of water quality decline are now widespread. Our work over 43 years has led us to conclude that Maine lakes are degrading because of continued watershed development and decline is being accelerated by climate change. All of our lakes have changed over the past few decades, and their future is certainly in doubt. For six years, LEA has studied the status of lake science and visiting lake centers around the country to learn their methods and establish relationships. LEA conducts more lake testing than anyone in Maine, and we feel that no one adequately understands the “tipping points” that lead to a decline in water quality.
