This list was generated using information from
residents who live around the ponds and lakes, information from town
officials, and government agencies. We have made every effort
to insure that the information is accurate. If you find items
that need correction, please call the District office at 667-8663 or

This past summer,
members of the HCLA participated in bacteria monitoring of local lakes,
attended water quality workshops (secchi & dissolved oxygen) to be certified to take
water quality data for their lakes, and volunteered during the Hancock County
Annual Lakes Survey Week.
Due to a wonderful grant that we received
from the Davis Conservation Foundation, we were able to purchase two dissolved
oxygen meters to lend out to trained volunteers (they need to have taken the
training workshop through the Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program- for information
on their workshops, please see their website at:www.mainevolunteerlakemonitors.org).
If you are interested in borrowing a meter from the District, please call the
office at 667-8663.
Through meetings and email, the group receives information
on lake related trainings and other information of interest. Topics of past
meetings include “How to Start a Lake Association”, “How to Get Money for Your
Lake”, and “How to Get Towns People Interested in Lakes”. The HCLA is also the
volunteer base for the Annual Survey Week, where we try to have all public boat
launches in Hancock County checked for invasive aquatic plants. New
members are always welcome. For more information or if you would like to be
added to the email list, please contact the District office at 667-8663 or
