A guidebook to 78 rustic resorts all across Maine, some are easily accessible; others are deep in the woods & ideal for a fishing retreat. B&W photos; 6x9 inches, 272 pgs.
'For those who dream of finding a cabin in the woods or a place to get away from it all, In the Maine Woods - a guidebook to 78 rustic resorts all across Maine-will open up a whole new world.
Unique to Maine, and part of a 50-year tradition, Maine sporting camps are typically family-owned affairs with a central dining lodge serving home-cooked meals, and individual rental cabins set along a lakeshore. Scattered throughout the state, no two camps are exactly alike: some are easily accessible and offer a full range of outdoor activities for families; others are deep in the woods and ideal for a fishing retreat. This guide, full of factual details and stories, is a much-needed resource on these increasingly popular wilderness hideaways.
Activities available at the sporting camps include fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, birding, and moose-watching. Many of the camps are open year-round. At-a-glance headings tell you how to get there, what to bring, rates, and a description of the facilities and accommodations. The author's interviews with sporting camp owners add history, humor, and a complete portrait of a unique and much-loved way of life.
"In the Maine Woods takes readers on a trip to the heart of Maine, to traditional Maine sporting camps, where the people are friendly, the food is good, and the scenery is spectacular. It's a trip you won't soon forget." - Governor Angus King
