The Belgrade Lakes watershed is located in central Maine, just north of our capital city Augusta. This watershed is made up of many streams, wetlands, tributaries, and of course the seven lakes: East Pond, North Pond, McGrath Pond, Salmon Lake, Great Pond, Long Pond and Messalonskee Lake. Water that enters this watershed eventually flows out of Messalonskee Stream and into the Kennebec River, which leads to the ocean.
