About Belgrade Stream
White has put the Belgrade Lake Chain on the map as an unbreakable lake that would never disappear even in its last years. I can remember this world from a nostalgic perspective, from the perspective of my childish self.
Belgrade Lakes are located in the southern part of the Kennebec River Basin in Maine, USA, north of Portland, Maine. They are the main source of the Messalonskee, which flows into the Kenbec, and the second largest of their kind in America.
The largest pond flows into the Long Pond, which flows into Lake Messalonskee, and the eastern pond flows into the northern pond, which is connected to the Great Pond.
McGrath Pond flows into Salmon Lake, which is also connected to the Great Pond, and McGrath Pond flows from the northern pond into the southern pond. Together, the lakes cover a total area of 20,311 hectares, with an average depth of 1.5 metres and a maximum depth of 2 metres (2.2 metres).
Twenty fish species live in each of the seven lakes, with the Great Pond containing over 1,000 fish species and the Salmon and McGrath Pond over 500.
Lake Messalonskee is one of the largest lakes in the state of Maine with an average depth of 1,000 feet. Add your photos to the Belgrade Lakes, Maine Facebook page for more information about the lakes and their surroundings. Also look for new photos of the Belgrade Lakes on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media sites.
The Messalonskee Lake Dam is controlled by Central Maine Power, and the most common catch is salmon, whale-eye, bluefin, redfish, trout, mackerel, whitefish and other fish species.
The dam, which is controlled by the North Pond Association, is located by a stream that brings water from the north - east of the pond - to the Great Pond and from the dam itself. The northern pond is the shallowest of all Belgrade lakes and has a maximum depth of 20 feet. North Pond holds the pike record in the northern state of Maine and ice fishing is extremely popular in winter.
Perches (chain perches) and perches are widespread on 2873 hectares, with a population of about 1,000 fish per square kilometre (0.5 hectare).
The eastern pond is covered by the Great Pond, with a population of about 1,000 fish per square kilometer (0.5 hectare) and a depth of 20 feet.
Due to the large number of illegal cappies, the stock of brown trout has declined dramatically. McGrath Pond has the smallest surface of all lakes at 486 hectares and a maximum depth of 27 feet. The dam is controlled by the Association of Eastern Ponds, with a population of about 1,000 fish per square kilometer (0.5 hectare) and a depth of 20 feet, but the dam controls only a small portion of it.
Crappie, a species fed by melt, was also illegally introduced to McGrath Pond. Because there is less food, there are fewer brown trout than there used to be, and the number of cappies is increasing.
Salmon and melt are the predominant fish in the Long Pond, and it has the best view of all Belgrade lakes. Wings Mill Dam is controlled by the Lake Committee of Belgrade, which is under the authority of the Maine State Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Salmon Lake and Hatchery Brook are controlled by the Belgrade Dam Committee, and Salmon Lake Dam is located in Kozy Cove, where Hatcheries Brook flows. Salmon in the lake have the best views of all lakes and the highest elevation of all lakes in Maine.
It has a mean depth of 21 feet and is a worthwhile destination for pike fishing in the north, but there are few salmon and melt here. Great Pond is the Great Lakes, the largest of seven lakes in Maine, which covers an impressive 8,239 hectares (1,640 acres).
It is also home to the largest freshwater lake in the world, covering 1,843 square miles, and the second largest lake in the state after the Salmon Lake.
The Mill Dam is controlled by the Belgrade Dam Committee, and the Mill Dam controls the water level of the Great Pond, the largest freshwater lake in the state of Maine. It is home to a wealth of beauty, with numerous properties and holiday apartments, as well as a number of restaurants and hotels.
Three quarters of the lake shore is already built up, and recreation on Lake Belgrade is truly unbeatable.
For the heart - end adventure, try jet skiing and wakeboarding, but also paddle boating, sailing and rubber dinghies are popular.
The water is more relaxed - canoeing and kayaking along the peaceful canal waterways that connect the water to the shore, as well as on the lake itself.
Walking on the Belgrade lakes is incredible and animal lovers should keep an eye on wildlife such as deer, elk, elk, bear, wolf, coyote, fox and other wildlife.
The Kennebec Highlands have been very well behaved in recent years due to the natural beauty of the area. Numerous hiking trails with views and viewpoints are available, including French Mountain and Mount Philip, the latter of which is 755 feet high. The most frequented route is the Blueberry Hill Trail, a 2.5 km long hike from the city of Belgrade. Just off the motorway, Blueberries Hill offers great views and the mountain path offers great views of Lake Champlain and the lake itself.
Due to the natural beauty of the area, the trail has developed very well in recent years, with only a few incidents of vandalism and vandalism.
Belgrade was founded in 1796 and today boasts a number of historical sights. For water fun, visit the nearby city of Belgrade by the lake. In and around Bel Serbia there are a variety of restaurants, bars, shops, hotels and other amenities.
The city was all about agriculture, with factories producing shovels, spools, rakes and shingle boxes. With the construction of the nearby railway in 1886, the city's focus shifted to tourism and has remained so to this day.
A Augusta, the capital of the state, is located 15 km southeast of Belgrade and its lakes offer a dizzying variety of activities and sights.
Family, friends, couples and solo travelers will have a hard time when it's over, so take a book and read it. If you agree with me, you can convince yourself by agreeing to a two-week stay in Maine for the price of one night in a hotel.
