87 Years of Community

The Maine Lakes Chamber, formerly the Greater Bridgton Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, has been the connective tissue of our community since 1937. What started as a small group of Bridgton business owners has grown into a regional organization serving 13 towns across Cumberland and Oxford counties.

Our region is defined by its natural beauty: crystal-clear lakes, forested mountains, and charming New England villages. From Sebago Lake, the second largest in Maine, to the ski trails of Pleasant Mountain, the Lakes Region offers something for every season.

Today, the chamber supports member businesses through directory listings, event promotion, networking opportunities, and the annual Area Guide. We're the bridge between local businesses and the residents and visitors who make our region thrive.
