Rangeley Lake

Several streams feed into Rangeley Lake, which is situated in Franklin County, Maine, in the United States. Its waters eventually drain from the northwest corner of the lake into Mooselookmeguntic Lake, Upper and Lower Richardson Lakes, Umbagog Lake, Merrymeeting Bay, the lower Kennebec River, the Gulf of Maine, and the Atlantic Ocean via the short Rangeley River.

The lake is one of the Androscoggin watershed's main headwater lakes. Its area is roughly 10 square miles, and its elevation is 1,518 feet (463 m) above sea level (26 km2). The lake's depth is shallow close to the shore but averages 95 feet (29 meters) deep in the center. The deepest point is 149 feet (45 m).

The southern margin of the lake is in Rangeley Plantation, which is not a part of the town of Rangeley. Rangeley is a village on Rangeley Lake's northeastern side at City Cove, while Oquossoc is a village at the lake's outlet at its northwest end. Rangeley Lake's eastern shore is where Maneskootuk Island is located. A small series of islands known as the South Bog Islands are located in the western section.
