It's hard to pick a favorite season in Maine, but this one is definitely high on the list. The anticipation of spring being just around the corner and the occasional warm breeze that crosses our path has us dreaming about what we'll do when it's finally warm enough to spend all day outside. To prepare we've compiled a list of some of our must-see lakes. If you're ready to start planning your own warm-weather escapades, check these out!

1. Cobbosseecontee Lake, Kennebec County

If you love lighthouses, you'll want to come here to see Maine's only inland light, Ladies Delight Light. Anglers will want to come here for some of the best bass fishing in the country.

2. Jordan Pond, Hancock County

This Acadia National Park lake is the deepest in the state, but that's not what we love best. We think it's also one of the most beautiful. While you can't swim in it, there's a trail surrounding it that affords some of the best views of The Bubbles. And, if you're feeling particularly fancy, you'll want to visit Jordan House for tea while you're in the park.

3. Mooselookmeguntic Lake; Franklin County

Maine's most unpronounceable lake is also one of it's most beautiful. It's 55 miles around, which means there are tons of places to find adventure. If you only have a few hours, make sure you drive along Route 17 and see it from the Height of Land.

4. Moosehead Lake, Northwest Piscataquis

This beauty is named after the huge number of moose that populate the area. It's the largest lake in the state, as well as the entire eastern region of the US. We love the views of Mount Kineo and the fact that there are more than 80 islands within it. There's no end to the fun you can have here on a warm summer day!

5. Millinocket Lake; Piscataquis County

There's no denying that part of what makes this lake so wonderful is the view of Mount Katahdin in the distance. There are actually two lakes here - Little Millinocket Lake which can be found on the west side of the lake and the larger one at the east.

6. Rangeley Lake, Franklin County

The Rangeley Lakes region has 6 wonderful lakes, which means this entire area is great for exploring, But Rangeley Lake is certainly one of the best. The state park of the same name sits on the southern shoreline and offers tons of fun for those hoping to stay for a few days. There's a reason why L.L. Bean made this the site of their employee-access camps!

7. East Grand Lake; Washington & Aroostook Counties

This lake is another that's known for great fishing. Come here for access to landlocked salmon, lake trout and smallmouth bass. This lake is also an international delight, sitting between Maine and New Brunswick in Canada.

8. Sebago Lake, Cumberland County

The second biggest lake in Maine is a great place to go if you love boating and SUPing. We love the famous Frye Island that's sitting in the center. And, Sebago Lake State Park is on the north end of the lake offering tons of overnight options for those who want to extend their time.

9. Flagstaff Lake, Somerset & Franklin Counties

The fact that this lake is adjacent to Bigelow Mountain Range makes it great for folks who love everything about being outside in Maine! This is also a great place to be in the summer as there are lots of places to camp, tons of cabins and at least 6 boat launches. Canoe-lovers will appreciate that it's part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, a historic 740-mile water route running through Quebec, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and Maine.

10. Webb Lake; Franklin County

Mount Blue State Park is only part of what makes this lake a destination worth setting your sights on. While smaller than some of the other lakes on this list, it's great for swimming and those looking for a fun day trip will enjoy the picnic areas as well.
