Lake McWain (also know as McWain Pond) is a lake located in East Waterford, Maine, that Birch Rock is situated on. It was named after David McWain, a man from Bolton, Massachusetts who was one of the first settlers in Waterford. There is some dispute as to whether Lake McWain is a really a lake or a pond. There is no set criteria of what defines a lake but most casual definitions of minimum size for a lake are well below the area of Lake McWain, which is about 445 acres (0.7 square miles).
