It is made up of 4,426 acres or nearly seven square miles. It lies in the towns of Casco, Otisfield, Oxford, and Poland. Thompson Lake is situated about thirty minutes from Lewiston-Auburn and forty five minutes from Portland, two of Maine’s most populated cities. Public boat launches are located in the towns of Casco, Otisfield, and Oxford. Thompson Lake is rated one of the ten best bodies of water in Maine for water quality. It is spring fed by the Poland Spring Aquifer – one of the most pristine in the state. The bottom can be seen to a depth of thirty five feet. There is a variety of shore line on Thompson Lake. There are long stretches of undeveloped shore with shallow sandy areas and other areas have steep rocky sections. There are only twelve hundred homes located in the greater Thompson Lake area. Even though there are three public launches, the activity on those is fairly minimal. Therefore, the boat traffic on the lake is much less compared to the other major lakes given its size and capacity. Studies have shown that the lake is eighty per cent underutilized compared to the amount of boat traffic it can accommodate. And since there is no heavy commercial development within close proximity to its shores, there is no background noise and pure starlit nights are abundant. There are many coves and islands throughout the lake. There are some areas where huge rocks can be found that were created by glaciers. Exploring one of the many islands or coves is a favorite activity of many who enjoy the lake. There are three residential camps – Agassiz Village, Camp Fernwood, and Camp Kohut. Sail boating, water skiing, paddle boat activities are done by the campers on any given day. Great views of Mount Washington can be had on a clear day. Spectacular sunsets can be viewed from the east side of the lake.
