Megunticook Lake Camden, Maine Diving/Metal Detecting 5/13/22 My Dog Martini RIP
Martini is my 16.5 year-old puppy. She passed away on 7/7/22 in my arms. She was the only real treasure that I ever found.
Since breaking my back in 2018 I haven't been able to play sports like Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey. I needed to find something that was easy on my back but also allowed me to get some more exercise. It took me a couple of years before I decided to take up underwater metal detecting. It started by wanting to clean up some of the rivers, lakes, and ponds around the state of Maine.
Now it's the only thing I want to do.
Underwater Metal Detecting Berrett's Cove Megunticook Lake, Camden, Maine 10/1/2021.
This is one of the best places to Swim, Kayak, Fishing, or any other type of water sports in Maine, the water is pretty clean - way cleaner after I got done with it lol.
Barrett’s Cove is a welcome and affordable respite for families visiting the area. Barrett’s Cove Beach is located on Beaucaire Lane, off Route 52, on Megunticook Lake in Camden, Maine.
The swimming areas are designated, with a children’s area shallow enough for your kids to go safely in the water. There is also deeper water for older children and adults with a diving float anchored several hundred feet from shore. The area also has a grassy picnic and play area that are child-friendly.

Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, White Perch, Landlocked Salmon, Chain Pickerel, Brown Trout, Minnows, Golden Shiner, White Sucker, Rainbow Smelt, Hornpout (Bullhead), Yellow Perch, Brook Trout, Banded Killifish, Pumpkinseed Sunfish, American" Eel.
