Upper Richardson Lake is a lake in Maine, near Oxford County.
Upper Richardson is a quieter coldwater trip in the Rangeley Lakes region. Its connection to Lower Richardson opens up a large stretch of water, but you don't need to cover both lakes to have a worthwhile day. Brook trout, salmon and togue give you several ways to fish.
In cool water, try a small spoon or streamer along suitable shoreline and nearby drop-offs. Adjust depth as the season warms. Lake trout offer a deeper-water target. Decide which fish you want to catch rather than pulling the same lure at one depth across every basin.
Mill Brook Road off Route 16 is the Upper Richardson approach listed by Maine's fisheries staff. South Arm Road serves the lower lake. Confirm road, launch and camping arrangements before driving in; access to one basin isn't the same as being beside your intended campsite.
Paddling and primitive lakeside camping are part of the appeal. Reserve or register campsites where required and carry what you need. Wind can make the connected open water uncomfortable, so plan a route that lets you stay near a sheltered shore.
