CUMBERLAND BAY and Northeast Arm make up the northern end of Grand Lake. Both are long and tend to the northeast. Cumberland Bay begins at Cumberland Point, which is like a two-faced coin. A beautiful farm sits high on the hill facing south, its metal roofs glinting in the sun, visible from almost anywhere in the southern half of Grand Lake. The north side of the point is lined with trailers.

The bay itself is wide and unobstructed enough for pleasant sailing, and its shores are largely undeveloped. Anchorages can be found in the small, sharp cove on the southern shore, in the cove by Wasson Brook, or at the head of the bay by Cumberland Bay Stream.

Anchorages, Moorings. The first, sharp cove on the southern shore is shared on either side by cottages and by loud bullfrogs that serenade at dusk. Anchor just inside the cove in 8 to 9 feet. Power lines that are not shown on the chart cross the shoal head of the cove.
INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT LAW.
The cove by Wasson Brook is broad, and there are several cottages on its smooth shores. Exposure is from the northwest. Anchor anywhere in a comfortable depth except in the shoals by the eastern shore.
PLEASE RESPECT AND SUPPORT THE WORK THAT HAS
The cove at the head of Cumberland Bay is less developed and offers the best protection from winds from the north. Anchor just inside the hook on the north shore or farther in toward the mouth of Cumberland Bay Stream. Don’t be tempted to go in too far. The deepest water is toward the north shore.
