Fourth Machias Lake is a 1,914-acre lake located in Lakeville, Washington County, offering public boat access via a dedicated launch facility. This ramp is best suited for hand-carry and light trailer boats; heavy or deep-draft boats are not recommended. The launch provides access to scenic headwater lakes of the Machias River watershed, making it an excellent starting point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters exploring the region's pristine waters.
The site features trailer parking but no on-site restroom facilities. For current conditions, access information, or questions about the launch, contact the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands at 207-287-4952. The surrounding area is part of a protected Community Forest that encompasses 71 miles of lakeshore and watershed, preserving the natural character of this popular paddling destination.
