Crescent Lake (Rattlesnake Pond)
Crescent Lake receives drainage from Coffee Pond and Dumpling Pond in northern Casco, Maine, and extends south into Raymond. The south end of the lake overflows through Tenny River to Panther Pond south. The town of Raymond maintains a boat ramp on Maine State Route 85 at the south end of Crescent Lake. Smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, chain pickerel, and white perch thrive in the lake. Dissolved oxygen deficiency below the summer thermocline limits suitability for cold-water fish; but the lake supports populations of cusk and rainbow smelt.
