When submitting eBird observations at Damariscotta Lake, it is most helpful to start a new checklist for each hotspot around the lake. Use this general hotspot when you have a checklist that includes multiple locations or if no other hotspot or personal location is appropriate for your sightings.

Sparkling clean water dotted with small islands, a soundtrack of trilling loons, and premier fishing are just some of what makes Damariscotta Lake so special. The lake covers 4,600 acres and has shorelines in Jefferson, Nobleboro, and Newcastle. Kayaking, canoeing, sailing, world-class iceboating, and swimming are a few of the many ways to get out on the water. Camping is available on Spectacle Islands
