Call Directions Website

AMC Maine Woods Initiative Nestled in the 100-Mile Wilderness, our Maine lodges are connected by more than 90 miles of trails.

Wake up to the echoing calls of native loons and take in views of local moose as you paddle across Long Pond. Discover dramatic vistas along miles of interconnected trails, or try your hand at landing the bountiful brook trout in nearby ponds and streams. The lodges and surrounding conservation lands are open to the public as part of AMC's Maine Woods Initiative. For reservations, call 603-466-2727 Monday through Saturday, 9:00am-5:00pm.

Owls in the daytime?! You betcha! Kristin, our Lands Planner, has seen a barred owl two different times recently. What a treat! This one she saw near Silver Lake having a little snake snack. Come out to AMC’s Maine Woods, enjoy the foliage, and keep your eyes peeled for some daytime owl sightings!”

On September 18th Maine’s Fisheries Improvement Network (FIN) capped off its two-day workshop with an impressive tour of AMC land in the beautiful Katahdin Iron Works region. We saw several aquatic organism passages, bridges, de- commissioned projects, future installs, and large in-stream wood additions projects. Each project was specifically designed to improve/open up upstream habitat. Thank you to Carolyn Ziegra and Emily Dickison for the work on this event!

Three lodges, so many cabins and buildings, so many things to fix and maintain. And here are two people who help keep the facilities running smoothly: Troy and Chris. Not only are these two hard working problem solvers, they are also kind and fun to work with. Plus, they geek out over cool tools.

Thanks for being awesome, Maintenance Team!!!
