Look who it is! Paul Doiron Books visited Big Eddy this week. He is the best selling author of the Mike Bowditch series of crime novels, set in the Maine woods. We enjoyed chatting with him about his writing process and what's coming up next, and he graciously donated a book for our Big Eddy author shelf. Thank you, Paul!

Thanks Maine Camping Guide for sharing us!

- Happy Monday! ☀ This week’s Campground Feature takes us to Chewonki's Big Eddy Campground in Millinocket, Maine ⛺ Located in the North Maine Woods, just 30 minutes from the south entrance to Baxter State Park, this peaceful riverside campground along the West Branch of the Penobscot River remains one of those rare places that seem unchanged by time 🌲🏕️

Big Eddy is considered a world-class site for native Landlocked Salmon and has been a destination for fishermen for at least 100 years 🎣 The road to Big Eddy is equally stirring, leading you deep into one of the most spectacular regions in New England—perfect for hiking, paddling, and truly disconnecting in Katahdin Country.

It's felt like the summer of projects, and it's exciting!

All materials were paid for thanks to the Big Eddy Improvement Fund. So a BIG thank you to all of you who have contributed over the past few years.
More fun coming! Make sure to subscribe to our monthly newsletter to stay up-to-date. https://bigeddy.chewonki.org/subscribe/
