MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • April 24, 2022
In celebration of the start of another paddling season, we are enjoying a leisurely four-hour exploration of the narrow southern portion of Damariscotta Lake from the Route 213 boat launch in Jefferson. While there are many homes and camps along the western lake shore, there is plenty of wilderness shoreline to enjoy on the eastern side of the lower lake. A few hours later, we drove up Route 213 to the Baptist Church, offering a beautiful view down to where we had been paddling. This vantage point just might be included in any listing of the Top 10 Highway Vistas in Maine. ~ Michael Perry
