OUR AREA
Our remote location on the pristine shores of Munsungun Lake is truly
beyond description. The traditional waterfront log cabins, sporting
camp lodge, and pristine lake are a rare occurrence these days.
We are on the secluded shores of Munsungun Lake (four miles long, 123 feet deep) and
there are no other cabins on the thirteen miles of shoreline. To the
northeast is Norway Bluff, 2300', the peak is at tree line for our
area. The mountain contains a silica rock called chert which the
aboriginal Abenakis Nation used for their arrowhead material. Across
Munsungan
to the southwest is 1500' Munsungun Ridge with spectacular views from
ledges at the top.
The
northwestern quarter of Maine is the area we call the North Maine
Woods. It is 3.5 million acres, traversed by the occasional logging
road, and actively managed for forestry products. We are in the
center, at the headwaters of the Allagash, Penobscot, and Aroostook
watersheds.
The woods and waters around Munsungun are wild and deep. They are home
to deer, bear, moose, partridge, beaver, coyote, bobcat, fisher,
eagles and ospreys, just to name a few. Unaccustomed to the ways of man,
they are truly thriving in their natural habitat. To see these
animals in the woods around camp is to see them as they have been for millennia.
