About Lower Richardson Lake

Lower Richardson Lake is a 3,106-acre reservoir in Oxford County, Maine.

We have not matched Lower Richardson Lake to a public USGS level gauge, so this page leans on wind and weather from the National Weather Service forecast grid over the lake. If you know of a gauge or a dam operator that publishes levels, tell us and we will add it.

It is big enough for a proper sail but small enough that waves rarely get serious. Gusts off the shoreline are usually the bigger story than wave height.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
