Seboomook wilderness Campground
| 19 miles away http://www.seboomookwildernesscampground.us/ This is the web site for Seboomoook Wilderness Campground. Yes they are still there and it's still beautiful!

When planning this years trip I have discovered that I cannot get to the web page,(when going to that page a porno site comes up) and the number I had made reservations on for the last 7 years is not in service. I dont understand this?...Is it still there???... |
Chesuncook Lake
| 19 miles away I worked two summers for Great Northern Paper Company on Chesuncook Lake. 1967 and 68 were two of the last years the drive existed as it was replaced in the early 70's by truckers. Also worked at Ripogenus Dam sluicing pulp into the Millinocket River and followed the wood down toward Millinocket. Slept, ate in the Boom House. Winston Morse was our boss the first year and Bert McBernie the second. Nelson Lavasseur was the overall boss of the drive. Chesuncook then could at times be covered by pulp wood often being towed down lake by the Edward Hilton a 70' tow boat that moved about 1/2 mile an hour under load.... |
Gulf Hagas Trail
 | 19 miles away Just came off Gulf Hagas in a kayak this week. Spectacular run!...Llyod Pond is on the back side of the rim trail if you drive past the turn off for Little Lyford and park at the bridge, you walk up the trailheading east and it is less than a mile....A quick correction: The gorge of the West Branch of the Pleasant river through ''Gulf Hagas'' has been kayaked many times. It is an expert level run, but not really extreme by today's standards. The first descent was in July 1985, and it's been run every year since, generally in the springtime....Corrections to previous comment: (1) Apparently a few kayakers do occasionally venture Gulf Hagas, with a mandatory take-out at Billings Falls. Still very difficult and dangerous, though. (2) Hammond Street Pitch is in Gulf Hagas, at the lower end. (3) Ship Pond Stream is 8 miles from Gulf Hagas by air, but the driving time from Gulf Hagas is well over an hour. (4) There is a Bear Brook that enters Gulf Hagas at the head of the Gulf, but with no direct hiking trail to this brook. (5) There is an Auburn Log Hauling Road east of Silver Lake in the KI / Jo-Mary Multiple Use Forest, near Gulf Hagas. Looks like a scenic hike. (6) Maxtrails' previous reference to 'Lloyd Pond' was probably meant to be 'Long Pond'. Long Pond is close to Gulf Hagas, and is a very pristine, pretty spot. (7) Big Wilson Stream is entirely in Piscataquis County (in Greenville, Elliotsville and Willimantic). A portion is incorrectly listed below as being in Franklin County.... |
