Driving from Millinocket, while shorter overall in terms of time is longer on dirt roads. A map for this route is not displayed here. We recommend that you purchase 'The Maine Atlas and Gazetteer', about $20, available at most convenience stores, and follow it closely with the above directions. All distances are +- .5 mile. Reconsider driving in from Ashland, that is the route we use and our guides use also.
Make sure you have a good spare tire before heading into the woods. A can of Fix-a-Flat is a good idea also. Your cell phone will not work on the logging roads.
