Second Gardner Lake, also known simply as Second Lake, is a beautiful 1,650-acre warm-water lake in the heart of Washington County, offering exceptional fishing, boating, paddling, and peaceful lakeside recreation. The lake is renowned for its outstanding white perch fishery, attracting anglers from across the region. From July through September, fishermen regularly catch healthy 9- to 12-inch white perch, making it one of the area's premier destinations for perch fishing. The Harmon Stream arm of the lake provides ideal habitat for chain pickerel, where anglers commonly land fish weighing between 1½ and 2½ pounds. Other species found in the lake include smallmouth bass, yellow perch, smelt, and the occasional landlocked salmon that migrate upstream from Gardner Lake. With a maximum depth of approximately 25 feet, Second Gardner Lake is well suited for kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, swimming, and boating. Its scenic shoreline, quiet waters, and abundant wildlife make it an ideal setting for those seeking the classic Maine lake lifestyle, whether spending a day on the water or enjoying a seasonal getaway. Located in Marion Township, an unorganized township in east-central Washington County, the lake offers the privacy and tranquility that many buyers seek. Marion Township, also known as T13 ED BPP, is served by the Dennysville Post Office, while municipal services are administered at the county level. Residents vote in nearby East Machias, the closest incorporated community to this portion of the township. Whether you're casting a line at sunrise, exploring the shoreline by kayak, or relaxing at your waterfront camp, Second Gardner Lake offers a peaceful outdoor experience and some of the best warm-water fishing in eastern Maine.
