Wyman Lake in Moscow, ME was created in 1929 when Central Maine Power dammed the Kennebec River between Pleasant Ridge Plantation and Moscow. It is one of Somerset County’s beloved summer destinations, known for its clear water and great fishing.

The 13-mile long, man-made lake was named for Walter Scott Wyman, then president of Central Maine Power. During Wyman’s tenure, CMP vastly expanded its hydroelectric ventures.
