Lake Pennesseewassee – also known as Norway Lake – is the largest and most visible lake in Norway, stretching nearly five miles along the edge of downtown. Covering approximately 987 acres with a maximum depth of about 48 feet, it serves as the town’s primary open-water landscape. The lake supports a wide range of everyday uses, from community events at the town park to routine boating and fishing. Its size and central location make it a defining feature of Norway’s geography.
