Katahdin Lake Wilderness Camps, Millinocket, Maine

Katahdin Lake Wilderness Camps are located on the south shore of Katahdin Lake which is three miles from the base of Mt. Katahdin. The mountain, at just over a mile high has the distinction of being the highest peak in Maine. From the sandy beach in front of the camps the view is unsurpassed. The lakeshore is pristine and surrounded by one of the few remaining old growth forests in Maine. Moose, deer, coyotes, otters, even the more elusive black bear can often be seen there. The undisturbed waters of the lake are home to native brook trout, nesting ducks and several families of loons calling out in the evening as the sun drops below the summit of the mountain. In fall, flocks of migratory geese stop to rest and feed. A pair of bald eagles nest every year near the western inlet of the lake.

The main lodge consists of a dining room, sitting room with library, kitchen and front porch that is perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. For educational workshops, seminars, or family get togethers, arrangements can be made to use the guest livingroom or diningroom.

We have ten cabins available for guests. The camps vary in size, from our smallest, " Traveler " that will accommodate an individual or couple to our largest camp, Purgatory Lodge, that will sleep eight. All have a wood stove for heat and propane lights. Housekeeping camps also have either a stove with or without oven and refrigerators are provided. In addition, the kitchens include pots, pans and dinnerware. Drinking water may be drawn at our spring and outhouses are conveniently located near the cabins.
