Masse Dam was the first of six dams to be addressed on Outlet Stream, which connects China Lake’s 3900 acres to the Sebasticook River in the Kennebec River Watershed. The project is a collaborative effort of Sebasticook Regional Land Trust, Maine Rivers, Maine Dept. of Marine Resources and China Region Lakes Alliance.
