Plaisted Lake

The final Northern Chain of Lake Management Plan was developed for Lynch Lake, Plaisted, North & South School Section and Goggins Lakes in 2016.

These lakes continue to be monitored for water quality every two weeks spring through fall annually. The most current information can be found in the annual monitoring reports in Appendix B (lakes are listed alphabetically). Click here.

Fall 2023 Community Meeting:

In fall 2023, we held a community meeting to update residents:

Learn about your lakes – water quality and shallow lake systems.
Give your input on your experience with your lakes.
Ways you can protect your lakes.
Recent water levels and flood forecasting.

If you were unable to join us or would like to view the information again, the meeting was recorded and available here.

Lake Level Information:

Animation of Northern Chain of Lakes - as water levels increase, water flows from Plaisted to North & South School Section to Goggins Lake. However, before the water level reaches the constructed outlet to Goggins, the water will raise further in South School Section before finally outletting the system at 970.5 ft. The system is monitored regularly and functioned as designed in the last high water cycle in 2019-2020.
