Houseboats could be banned from Hancock County lake

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • June 17, 2022

The days of houseboats on Green Lake could be numbered after Dedham voters passed a moratorium on the structures Thursday night. Worried about their potential proliferation on the town’s lakes, town meeting readily approved the moratorium, which halts any local approvals for houseboats or other floating domiciles that stay on the water long-term. Houseboats can still temporarily anchor in Dedham waters, but for no longer than four hours.
