Boating Facilities Program Priorities

In 1995, the Boating Facilities Program of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry, in cooperation with Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (DIFW), produced a document titled, "Strategic Plan for Providing Public Access to Maine Waters for Boating and Fishing." The 1995 document is available online.

This document provided lists of water bodies that were identified as:

  • Offering recreational fishing and/or
  • Other recreational opportunities but which lacked assured public access.

It is used by the two agencies to direct their water access programs. The plan was updated in 2000 to reflect progress made on this initiative.

Also in 2000, the Maine State Planning Office and Department of Marine Resources produced a report titled, "Coastal Water Access Priority Areas for Boating and Fishing." This report is also used to assist the Boating Facilities Division to direct its resources.

The Boating Facilities Division's list of priorities - organized below in three tables:

  1. Lakes and Ponds
  2. Rivers and Streams
  3. Coastal Access Needs

Note: The list of lakes and ponds does not include many smaller ponds that may show up on DIFW's list of priorities. Waterbodies not listed are also eligible for assistance, based on a review of recreational opportunities and access needs.

Help Us with Our Mission

If you are aware of a property on any of these waterbodies that is, or may come on the market, please let us know by calling (207) 287-4952.

If you would like to receive information on the new Strategic Plan, please call (207) 287-4952.
