WASHADEMOAK LAKE is long and narrow, beautiful and relatively unspoiled. The shores are rolling and wooded, cleared here and there for farms, with a few cottages along the shores.

From the entrance at Lower Musquash Island to the bridge that spans the lake at Cambridge Narrows (vertical clearance of 45 feet), the lake is more than 10 miles long. It is also narrow, with only one or two good anchorages. Past Appleby Point, the depth doesn’t get below 15 feet, which can be somewhat disconcerting when you are running before a fresh southerly. Note that almost every buoy in the lake has been positioned to keep you in what little water there is.

Washademoak is for those who love to explore without a particular destination. For that reason, it is not on the itinerary of most upriver-bound boats, and it is left for those that do.

Approaches. Washademoak Lake is entered through a channel between Colwells Point and low Hog Island. Entrance chart. The channel through the grassy, shallow western end of the lake is marked with red and green spar buoys and a range between the lights on Lower Musquash Island and on the Lake’s north shore opposite MacDonalds Point. Keep the red buoys to starboard as you enter, green to port.
