Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge is part of a comprehensive cooperative protection and management effort to preserve wildlife, wildlife habitat, wetlands, and timber resources along the northern Maine/New Hampshire border.

Involved with FWS in the effort are the states of New Hampshire and Maine and many private industries. The project includes 8,700 acre Umbagog Lake, associated uplands and freshwater marshes.

It protects unique habitat for many wetland dependent migratory wildlife species of concern including the bald eagle, the endangered peregrine falcon, waterfowl species such as the declining black duck, and many species of federal and state management concern including common loon, northern harrier, woodcock and others. For the common loon and osprey, it is considered the best breeding habitat in New Hampshire.
