Long Lake is home to many species of wildlife, which given the growing use of the lake for recreational purposes must be respected. Most notably, loons which can be heard at night and whose song is sought by so many visitors. Loon nests can be seen on the shoreline but must never be disturbed. Visitors to the lake should be cautious around these nests and should avoid any disturbance, including noise. Boaters should also take extra caution to be watchful of loons on the lake and avoid creating large wakes close by.

Boaters should also inspect their crafts before entering the lake for millfoil, a growing problem in New England lakes.

While the official max depth is listed as 59 feet, there is a spring near Half Loon Bay, a small bay near Bridgton Academy, that registers as being 216 feet deep, according to depth finders on multiple boats.
