Overview
Gardner Lake in Whiting is a coastal-plain lake in Washington County's Downeast interior, fed by cold Downeast runoff and with public boat landings on its shore. It is a good paddle and short-swim lake near the landing rather than a developed beach. Water is cold early and late in the season; bring footwear for the muddy and gravelly shoreline.
