Do you know of Kennebago Lake ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Kennebago Lake. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Kennebago Lake.<1>

Our sources for Kennebago Lake (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Kennebago Lake other than they indicate that Kennebago Lake would be found somewhere in Franklin County, Maine.
