Who We Are

We are a small, local organization founded in 1991 by local year-round and summer residents. The purpose of Washington Lakes Watershed Association is to promote understanding and good management of the water and watershed within the town of Washington, Maine. The Association works to maintain good lake and watershed management.

 

Watershed Coverage

The watershed includes Washington Pond, Crystal Lake, Medomak Stream and several others.

 

Activities

We regularly post activities and are happy to include your events that are in support of the Washington Lakes region and the families in our community.

 

Good Lake Stewardship

 

We all need to be stewards.

Declining water quality can affect the type and number of fish species that inhabit the lake as well as the birds and other wildlife which make their home here. It can harm recreational use and it results in lower property values. What we do on land does affect our lakes.
