| Description |
Lake St. George State Park is located 16 miles west of Belfast and
25 miles east of Augusta on the northwest shore of beautiful Lake St.
George. State Route 3 ran parallel and close to the lake, which was
originally part of a farmstead. The centerpiece of the park is Lake St.
George itself. Some of the park's campsites are located right on the
shoreline where a morning cup of coffee can be enjoyed while watching
the sun rise over the crystal clear water.
Loons are frequent visitors and their signature call can often be heard
at night. The lake is 1,017 acres and numerous undeveloped islands dot
the main basin of the lake. Fishing for landlocked salmon and brook
trout is a popular sport, and visitors can rent canoes or boats to
explore the park's undeveloped shoreline.
The day-use area is a short walk from the camping area where picnic
tables and grills are available close to the beach. A lifeguard is on
duty. The day-use area has swings, volleyball, basketball, and a sandpit
where younger children play. Three to five miles of hiking trails are
within walking distance from the campground. |
