Lake McWain (also called McWain Pond and Long Lake) is a lake located in East Waterford, Maine, that Birch Rock is situated on. It was named after David McWain, a man from Bolton, Massachusetts who was one of the first settlers in Waterford. There is some dispute as to whether Lake McWain is a really a lake or a pond. There is no set criteria of what defines a lake but most casual definitions are well below the area of Lake McWain, which is about 440 acres in area (0.69 square miles) and has a perimeter of about 4.7 miles.
