- Chesuncook Lake is a reservoir in Piscataquis County, Maine, within the North Maine Woods. The lake was formed by the damming of the West Branch Penobscot River by dams built in 1835, 1903, and 1916 respectively. It is approximately 22 miles (35 km) long and 1–4 miles wide, with a surface area of 25,183 acres (101.91 km2) and a maximum depth of 150 feet (46 m). It is the third-largest body of fresh water in Maine. The lake was named "goose place" by combining the call of the Canada goose schunk with auke (the Abenaki word for place) to form Chesuncook. Henry David Thoreau visited Chesuncook (village) and lake in 1853 and wrote about its beginnings in his book "The Maine Woods" Chesuncook Part 4; 'Ansell Smith's the oldest and principal clearing about this lake,...' Thoreau observed no geese on the lake during his visit. The original lake was enlarged by construction of Ripogenus Dam in 1916 to cover Ripogenus Lake, Caribou Lake, and Moose Pond. The enlarged lake became less suitable for Lake trout because of fluctuating reservoir levels for generating hydroelectricity. The lake is on the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. (en)

- Le lac Chesuncook (Chesuncook lake) est un lac de barrage situé dans le comté de Piscataquis (Maine, États-Unis). Le lac est le résultat de la construction du barrage Ripogenus sur la branche ouest du fleuve Penobscot entre 1903 et 1916. Le lac fait environ 35 km de long et entre 2 et 6 km de large. Sa superficie est de 101,91 km2, ce qui en fait la troisième plus vaste étendue d'eau douce dans le Maine (après le lac de Moosehead et le lac Sebago). Le lac est divisé en 3 sections : la principale est aussi appelée lac Chesuncook, une autre, lac Caribou (Caribou lake) et la troisième, lac Ripogenus (Ripogenus lake). (fr)
