| | | Northern Maine | | My Community My home and office is in the town of Eagle Lake. Eagle Lake is a part of Aroostook County and is located in the northern part of the state. The town is named after the lake that the town is situated on. The Fish River Scenic Byway (Route 11) runs in a north/south direction through the town. A good portion of the lake is undeveloped and is owned by the people of the state of Maine and managed by the Bureau of Public Lands. Fishing is excellent in Eagle Lake and can be enjoyed almost year round. Eagle Lake and the surrounding communities enjoy a very nice quality of life. Attributes of life in northern Maine include: - Quiet, peaceful, safe communities
- Strong work ethic of loyal and trainable labor pool
- Excellent educational and medical facilities
- Abundant natural resources
- Clean environment
- Low crime rate
- Four season recreational opportunities
- A place for everybody else to escape it all
