Camp Details

The Kennebago road which leads up to the lake follows the old railroad bed that sports traveled to fish the remote area back in the late 1800's into the early 1900's, My grandparents and father being among the families to spend part of their summer every year at the other end of the lake.
Our Camp is one of the older, not log, camps that was owned by a railroad employee, so we are told. It is simple and rustic with all the possibilities of changing to your taste. There is in front a screened in porch with Glass panels for the winter; a central living room/kitchen with wood burning stove and bunk room off the side, with one bunk bed. The kitchen/pantry is Railroad style with plenty of shelving and fully stocked with everything you could imagine. At one end of the dining room there is bedroom with queen size bed and single, dresser combination.
The back side of the camp is a fully enclosed porch screened/glassed in with vigilant wood burning stove, couch, chairs and table for dining and game table. In one corner is our bathroom with electric destroilet. There is a back deck with benches and outside shower below. The camp has hot and cold running water seasonal use as it is fed by pump from the river.

The camp has been re shingled, painted and sections of the roof re done. It is totally winterized and enclosed with all the amenities for winter use, depending on access. The road was kept open last year and several camps were in use year round. We used for a number of years during the winter and had access to all the snowmobiling trails, adding a whole new dimension to our experience, aside from the great skying at Saddleback mountain or out the back gate and over to Sugarloaf.

The camp is on leased land from Union Water Power which leases to many surrounding camps. They are very amenable and nice to work with. Our lease is for a double lot which provides water frontage, one of the last remaining camps with this advantage. The lower lot is not a separate buildable but provides added possibilities with moving locations or building with current LURC set backs.

Historic Kennebago

Where life seems to still stand still and natures beauty is respected and enjoyed in one of the country's finest remaining sportsman's and nature lover's paradise. located in the northwest corner of Maine, above Rangeley and about 10 miles from the Canadian border. Traditional old wooden Rangeley boats ferry Fisherman, known as "sports" back in the day around the lake to favorite Fishing holes playing home to one of the last remaining truly native (never stocked) brook trout and land locked salmon fisheries. Horse power rarely exceeds 7hp on this Fly fishing only fishery. The lake is only to be paralleled by the 10 miles of outstanding river fishing on the Kennebago where fresh runs of land locked salmon and brook trout abound and hold over in breath taking pools landscaped with Maine's natural habitat of aspen, cedar, oak, birch maple with wild blueberries, bunch berries, lupin and trillium and other assorted wildflowers.
To appreciate this area is to leave her untouched and enjoy the simpler, uncomplicated life where getting "back to basics" prompts you to leave telephones, TV's back home and where a good day on the river, lake or in the woods can be shared with family and friends at night over a good meal and by the fireside.
It easily understood why Kennebago has been referred to as "God's Country"
