AUGUSTA — The state of Maine has purchased more than 5,700 acres south of Millinocket in Piscataquis County, including two miles of Seboeis Lake shoreland.
State and conservation advocates say Monday’s $2.7-million purchase in Lakeville Plantation is expected to enhance outdoor recreation, tourism, public access and economic development throughout the region.
The purchase from the Bigelow Timber Corp. of Madison is funded with federal and state money. The purchase brings into state ownership a key link in a regional system of snowmobile and ATV trails between Milo and Millinocket.
Seboeis Lake is popular for boating, water access and its views of Mount Katahdin.
