At a glance
Overview
The Ledges is a flooded granite quarry near Millinocket, used locally as a cold-water swim in the Katahdin country. Entry is rough and unmanaged; the rock ledges drop straight into deep water, and there are no ladders, rings, or lifeguards. Treat this as an expert swimmer's cold dip, not a family beach.
