About Mousam Lake




All About the Lake Region
 
This is called the Lakes Region for a reason. Many of these lakes connect to each other and we work collaboratively to insure maintenance of our shore lands and water quality. It was only a few years ago we had high phosphorous levels in Mousam causing a clouding of the water. The MLRA worked diligently to improve those.

Success Story

The EPA recognized MLRA, local, and state efforts to successfully improve water quality at the Lake Region over the last decade. Specifically Mousam Lake met the Maine Department of Environmental Protection's water quality requirements in 2006. Click here to download the EPA article.

Mission Statement
The Mousam Lake Region Association is organized for the purpose of preserving and protecting the natural character of Mousam Lake, Goose Pond and its surroundings.

We are particularly focused on monitoring and enhancing water quality and educating people about the responsible use of the lake as a public recreational facility for today and for future generations.
"Memories"
by Charles Meader

Far away beyond the city
Near the rockbound coast of Maine
There's a little place called Mousam
By the great White Mountain range.
There the tired city dweller
Comes to take his ease and rest
On the eastern shore of Mousam
'Tis the place he loves the best.
Scattered through the pines and oak trees
Just some plain old-fashioned shacks.
That my friends all dearly love,
Always happy to be back.
When the golden sun is sinking
In the rosy-tinted west.
And the twilight shadows falling
That's the time we love the best.
You can hear the young folks laughing
As the evening shadows fall.
Some are swimming, some are dancing
To the juke-box in the hall.
Here I've dwelt for fifty summers
Through the sunshine and the rain,
Here I've found God's peace and comfort
At Mousam Lake, in dear old Maine.
