Vacation Where? #2
When you think about where you want to take your next
vacation, what comes to mind? Florida, Arizona, maybe the Bahamas. Well why not
the North Maine Woods? Crazy, you say? Not so fast. The North Maine Woods has a
number of sporting camps that offer wonderful vacations, whether it is fishing,
hunting or just sitting on the porch next to a lake or pond reading a good
book. I have had the great fortune of
staying at a couple of them, and for my money, pristine quiet beautiful views will
always outweigh Florida or Arizona any day.
One of the sporting camps that I have enjoyed staying at is
Chandler Lake Camps. Just west of Ashland and 26 miles from the 6 mile gate up
the Pinkham Road lies one of the most beautiful spots in the North Maine Woods.
Chandler Lake camps on Chandler Lake. It is the only set of camps on that lake,
which makes it a very nice quiet destination place. The property was
constructed in 1907 by V.E Lynch. It was eventually owned by the Hartts from
Hartt Seed Company until it was purchased by its current owner, Jason Bouchard.
Jason has rebuilt many of the cabins to
the point that it is the perfect getaway for any type of vacationer. The camp
offers all the amenities of home and the home cooking is out of this world.
Jason and his staff wait on you hand and foot only requiring you to show up and
enjoy. If you are looking for good fishing spots, Jason will point you in the
right direction with many of the ponds and lakes only being a short distance
from the camps. Fishing in the North
Maine Woods is exceptional with brook trout abound. Some streams and lakes also
have salmon and togue. If it is hunting or you just want to ride the roads and
take photos, the North Maine Woods has it all.
Roughed Grouse, Deer, Bear and Moose, and you don’t have to ride far
from the camps to see them.
So, if you are laboring over where to take that next
vacation, The North Maine Woods and Chandler Lake Camps is the perfect
destination to just get away and enjoy the calm quiet beautiful sunsets. Once hooked,
I know you will be back again and again.
