A sense of Lake Meddybemps
Sunrise County is laced with big lakes. In fact, 21 percent of it 3,258 square miles is water, including streams of all sizes, bogs and flowages, and ponds.
The largest lake, Meddybemps, covers more than 27 square miles within four towns, reaches a maximum depth of 58 feet, is dotted with islands, and is famed for its smallmouth bass fishing.
Light on winter ice provides a unique clarity in perceiving the lake’s profile, seen in part here from State Route 214.
Historic ironworks dam
Evidence of the long-gone Pembroke Iron Company, established in 1832, is seen in the half-hidden stonework ruins of its dam along U.S. Route 1. In 1856, at its height, the company produced nearly 5,000 tons of iron spikes, rivets, and nails – many of them used in the town’s shipbuilding industry.
The Pennamaquan River now flows naturally around it to a newer dam and fish ladder carrying nearly 10,000 migrating alewives a day from the head of the tide nearby to breeding grounds in lakes upstream.
