Lake Health

Androscoggin Lake is a fragile resource, and threats such as invasive plants, deteriorating water quality, soil erosion, and climate change can cause sudden and dramatic negative changes. A newcomer to the threat list is wake boats, whose large waves can damage shorelines and wildlife habitats, and can also degrade water quality.
