Pleasant Lake - Aroostook

30 Miles Outside of Houlton

Sitting just 30 miles southwest of Houlton, Pleasant Lake is a charming retreat in Aroostook County, Maine. Houlton features the Houlton International Airport, Houlton Regional Hospital, restaurants, grocery stores, and more.

Over 1800 Acres of Crystal-Clear Waters

The lake covers over 1800 acres. This natural splendor features some of the most transparent waters in Aroostook County. The lake is 36 feet deep on average but reaches depths of 63 feet.

While residents and locals treasure it, Pleasant Lake waters remain lightly trafficked for a relaxing lake atmosphere. Pontoons, motorboats, and other boats cruise the waters pulling skiers, take anglers fishing on the lake, or cruise along the lake. Anglers have a fantastic time fishing the lake’s supply of brook trout, lake trout, and landlocked salmon.
