Boyden
Lake
| | |
| The Passamaquoddy people first named the lake
Nassaik or riley waters because of the gusty windy spirit
of this lake. The anglicized name is now Boyden Lake after
the Boyden family who first moved to |
| the area in the early 1800s. Boyden Lake is
approximately three miles long and one mile across with a
maximum depth of 44 feet in the deep hole. Boyden Lake is
home to many fish species including catfish, sunfish, lake
trout, landlocked salmon, small and large mouth bass, and
pickerel. We have many species of birds including the common
loon, osprey, bald eagle, king fisher, mallard and wood ducks
and blue heron. The lake is also home to moose, deer, beavers,
otters, muskrats, porcupines, raccoons, skunks, red foxes,
and black bears. |

Boyden Lake has an association,
established in 1988. The Boyden Lake Association sponsors
social and educational activities aimed at preserving the
lake. Members monitor the water levels and water clarity,
participate in the annual Loon Count, built floating platforms
for nesting loons, and advocate for the protection of the
lake.
