TURNER PUBLISHING • January 17, 2022

Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust has completed purchase of 1,731 acres of forest, shorefront and wetlands in the Kennebago watershed. The property includes two miles of undeveloped shorefront and upland surrounding 190-acre Little Kennebago Lake and nine miles of frontage on upper Kennebago River from Crowley Brook to Little Kennebago Lake. The tract includes the inlet of Little Kennebago Lake that angling writer Ray Bergman featured in his 1938 classic “Trout.” RLHT plans to manage the land for its significant fish and wildlife habitat and public recreational use.
