Maine State Parks

Lake St. George State Park is designed with the love of water in mind. While many state parks in Maine emphasize hiking and forestry, Lake St. George State Park stands out with its emphasis on enjoying the water. The park spans 360 acres and is full of fun. It is easy to find, 16 miles west of Belfast and 25 miles east of Augusta on the northwest corner of Lake St. George in Liberty, Maine. In total, the lake spans 1,017 acres and is great way to spend a day-time visit or overnight excursion.

On the lake, fishing will always be a favorite. Lake St. George features landlocked salmon and brook trout that keep fisherman satisfied all year round. There are even bass hiding in the lake that put fisherman through quite the hunt, if they do not know where to look. Canoeing is another very popular pastime at Lake St. George State Park. The lake is dotted with undeveloped islands that are the perfect spot for nature exploration and outdoor adventures. The lake is always under the constant eye of lifeguards from the shore, which makes swimming and boating extremely safe on these constantly calm waters. There are even boats and canoes for rent, so that you can enjoy everything Lake St. George State Park has to offer, even if you do not own a boat yourself.

On land, there are also a ton of great activities at Lake St. George State Park. From hiking to snowmobiling, there is something for everyone. There are even volleyball and basketball courts located near some of the picnic areas. If you plan on spending the night, there are almost 40 different campsites to choose from and they are all near showers and bathrooms to help make your nights and days as relaxing and revitalizing as possible.

If you love to hike, then you will enjoy over 5 miles of interconnected trails that will take you on a trip through the breathtaking wilderness that is full of wildlife. If you spend any time walking around the lake, you are sure to spot loons that frequent the area. There is nothing better than meeting the new day with a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate and seeing the sunrise reflecting off of the lake, while listening to the calls of the awakening loons and other wildlife in the area. With so many different things to see and experience, it is no wonder that Lake St. George State Park has become such a popular location, whether it be for an afternoon or a weekend trip.
