Rangeley Lake State Park is a public recreation area occupying 870 acres (350 ha) on the southern shore of Rangeley Lake in Franklin County, Maine. The state park is located partly in the town of Rangeley and partly in Rangeley Plantation. It is managed by the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.
The park was created in 1960 when the Bureau of Parks and Lands made three acquisitions totaling 718 acres (291 ha). Half of the park property was donated by Oxford and international paper companies. A 29-acre (12 ha) parcel was added to the park in 2009 with the assistance of the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust. The acquisition, which cost $595,000.00, was made using funds from the Land for Maine's Future program.
The park offers picnicking, a 50-site campground, swimming beach, hiking trails, and docks and launch ramp for motorized boating. The lake's 6,000 acres (2,400 ha) house landlocked salmon and brook trout.
