Question 5

What is Ben Lake and what activities are available?

Accepted Answer

Ben Lake, nestled in the serene wilderness of Aroostook County, Maine, spans 37 acres and reaches a maximum depth of 32 feet. This small yet picturesque lake is encircled by mature spruce, fir, and cedar trees, with a cedar swamp gracing its southern and western shores. The shoreline, characterized by gravel and rocky formations, provides a rugged beauty that complements the lake's tranquil surroundings.

The water quality during summer is ideal for brook trout, the principal fishery of Ben Lake. Cool temperatures and adequate dissolved oxygen between 15 and 25 feet create a hospitable environment for trout. However, oxygen levels below 25 feet become too low for trout to thrive. Spawning opportunities are limited, as the single inlet offers poor habitat, and the outlet consists of shallow, old beaver flowages that provide minimal support for spawning or nursery areas. Some trout may spawn directly within the lake, taking advantage of its natural features.

Reaching Ben Lake is an adventure in itself. Access is available via a private gravel logging road off Route 11, followed by a footpath that leads to this peaceful retreat. The remote location, combined with its natural beauty, makes Ben Lake a delightful spot for those seeking solitude and a chance to connect with Maine's pristine wilderness.
