Lambert Lake

Lambert Lake is a 605-acre clear, cool lake located in Vanceboro near the New Brunswick border in Washington County, Maine. The lake sits in the headwaters of the East Branch of the St. Croix River and is easily accessible via Route 6, which passes directly by the water. The public boat ramp provides reliable launch access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats seeking to explore this scenic, largely undeveloped water body.

The lake's steep, heavily wooded shoreline and remote setting make it an attractive destination for paddlers. Lambert Lake supports a healthy fishery with landlocked salmon and brook trout populations, making it popular with anglers as well. The water is known for being clear and cool, and the relatively undeveloped nature of the lake—with only a few rustic camps concentrated at the southern end—means paddlers can expect a quiet, scenic paddling experience. The calm waters make this lake suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels.
