In the Maine Woods: The Insider's Guide to Traditional Maine Sporting Camps

By Alice Arlen

Book Overview

Part of a 150-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 lake shore. 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 Maine woods, ideal for a fishing retreat. This reference, containing factual details and stories, is a guide to these increasingly popular wilderness hideaways. At-a-glance headings describe how to get to each camp, what to bring, rates, and a description of the facilities and accommodations. The book also features interviews with camp owners.
