Graham Lake Boat Launch
About

Summer is the most comfortable time to get on the water. Typical July and August highs reach about 77°F with lows in the mid-50s, based on averages from a nearby weather station at E Surry. Winters are cold, with January highs around 30°F. Several other outings sit within a short drive. The Hastings Trail is about 2 miles away, and the Down East Sunrise Trail, a cross-country ski route, is about 4 miles off. Beech Hill Pond, a fishing spot, is roughly 7 miles away, and Bangor Bouldering offers climbing about 10 miles from the launch.
