About This Access Site
The Wassookeag Lake public boat ramp is located on Little Lake Wassookeag in Dexter, near the Lakeside Lunch just north of the bridge. This is the primary public access point for the 1,153-acre Wassookeag Lake, making it a convenient launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The lake is fed primarily by clean springs, offering scenic paddling opportunities across its expansive waters.

Paddlers should be aware that the larger, deeper portions of the lake can be quite cold, especially for swimmers. The ramp area also includes a public beach, providing a good spot to gear up before launching. This access point is popular with anglers and recreational boaters, so expect moderate traffic during peak seasons. The calm waters make it suitable for various skill levels, though paddlers should respect the lake's size and plan accordingly for longer trips.
