Bigelow Preserve is home to the lake in what counties in Maine?
Bigelow Preserve Bigelow Mountain Preserve is a 36000 acre state-owned nature preserve in the western part of the U.S. state of Maine. Located in Stratton, Maine, the preserve was created in 1976 in order to stop a proposed development of a ski resort in the area. It is home to Mount Bigelow, one of Maine's highest mountains at an elevation of 4145 ft , and Flagstaff Lake.
Western Maine Mountains The Western Maine Mountains region spans most of Maine's western border with New Hampshire. A small part of the scenic White Mountain National Forest is located in this area. This is essentially all of Oxford County and northern Franklin, York and Cumberland Counties. Notable towns include Bethel, Bridgton, Oxford, Rangeley, and Rumford. Many of the state's highest peaks are located in the region, although the highest, Mount Katahdin, is not.
