Madawaska Lake is a 1564-acre lake with two distinct basins, known locally as the Big and Little Lake.  The Little Lake is located entirely in the Town of Westmanland, while the Big Lake is located entirely in unorganized territory, T16 R4.  The lake was listed as impaired in 1988 due to frequent algae blooms and a TMDL was completed in 2000.  Water quality improved following changes in timber harvesting practices, septic system replacements and increased oversight and assistance to lakefront properties.  The lake was removed from the impaired list in 2006.
 
The western side of Little Madawaska Lake is bordered by seasonal camps and year round residences.  These structures are accessible by a single road, Little Madawaska Lake Road (LMLR).  The Town of Westmanland and the residents of LMLR are responsible for the road upkeep and condition.   Excessive erosion and sedimentation from the road was identified as a high priority problem in a 2003 watershed survey.  The watershed survey also identified numerous high priority residential sites, which included driveways, unstable shorelines and lack of buffers.  Together these land uses have contributed a significant load of sediment and nutrients to the lake.
