At night, start a campfire in the lakeside fire pit with plenty of firewood provided, roast marshmallows, sip a glass of wine, watch the glow of the fire, listen to the loons and reflect on the day and start planning the next. Annabessacook Lake has a new, state-built, boat-launching ramp that opened in the fall of '22 along Holmes Road. The lake continues to be full of bass, some giant pickerel and pike, and plenty of perch and sunfish for the kids. A couple of +30 inch long pike were caught last summer. Several pairs of loons live on the lake and their beautifully haunting call can be heard day and night. In addition, eagles also reside on the lake along with a couple of cranes and wild turkeys live in the nearby woods and occasionally visit. The “Loon’s Nest” is 3 miles from downtown Winthrop, with small-town shopping, and a large grocery store and drug store; 4 miles from the town center of Monmouth with its renowned summer theater; five miles from the nearest golf course; 15 miles from the state capital of Augusta with its shopping, cinemas, restaurants, and only an hour away from LL Bean and the outlets of Freeport.
