At 1040 acres, Lake St. George has a maximum depth of 65 feet and a mean depth of 24 feet. It’s well known for its excellent fisheries, including landlocked salmon, brook trout, smallmouth bass, white perch and chain pickerel. The numerous undeveloped islands that dot the basin add to the great fishing. A boat launch is located just off Route 3 and an unimproved launch site can be found near Marshall Shore.
Lake St. George Park is situated on the northwest shore. It offers camping, including shoreline sites.
Because there is less boat traffic than equivalent sized lakes in Maine, there’s plenty of room for sailing and boating.

The old octagonal post office in Liberty is the only such one in the United States. And Liberty Graphics has been “designing and printing since the 70s.” I love purchasing their high-quality seconds, with a design emphasis on the wonders of the natural world. Their designs are unique and their prices are fantastic.

Liberty Tool offers tools, antiques, collectibles, books and art collected from estates and workshops throughout New England. With three expansive floors, it’s New England’s largest secondhand tool store. I guarantee you won’t leave empty handed.
