Discovering Maine's Mud Lakes

Why the Name "Mud Lake"?

Many lakes get their names from how they look or what's around them. A "Mud Lake" often means a lake that has a soft, muddy bottom or muddy shores. This is a natural part of many lake environments. It's not a bad thing; it just describes the ground beneath the water or along the edges.

Where Are These Lakes Located?

Most of the lakes named Mud Lake in Maine are found in two main areas. A lot of them are in Aroostook County, Maine, which is in the very northern part of the state. Others are located in Washington County, Maine, which is in the eastern part of Maine, close to the border with Canada. Each of these lakes is a unique natural spot, even if they share a common name!
