In the Maine Woods by Alice Arlen Pdf

Part of a 150-year tradition, Maine sporting camps are typically family-owned affairs with a central dining lodge serving home-cooked meals, and individual rental cabins set along a lake shore. Scattered throughout the state, no two camps are exactly alike: some are easily accessible and offer a full range of outdoor activities for families; others are deep in the Maine woods, ideal for a fishing retreat. This reference, containing factual details and stories, is a guide to these increasingly popular wilderness hideaways. At-a-glance headings describe how to get to each camp, what to bring, rates, and a description of the facilities and accommodations. The book also features interviews with camp owners.

Maine Lodges and Sporting Camps by Donald A. Wilson Pdf

Beginning in the mid-1800s and lasting for more than a century, Maine boasted a large number of lodges and sporting camps that catered to the pursuit of outdoor activities. While the primary interests of guests were fishing and hunting, many of the larger, more expensive resorts offered a variety of opportunities, including golf, horseback riding, tennis, boating, archery, and hiking, and some boasted gourmet dining and elegant parties. While some of these establishments survive, many have been demolished, existing only in memory and in photographs. Maine Lodges and Sporting Camps tells the story of the most prominent destinations, featuring nearly two hundred historic images that depict the life that existed when Maine was a sportsman's paradise, abounding in trophy game and fish.

Maine Sporting Camps by George Smith Pdf

Maine has a long and rich history of involvement with outdoorsmen and women. The Great North Woods have long been the destination of choice for residents and visitors alike looking to bag a trophy buck or land a record brook trout. And there have always been sporting camps to cater to the "sports" and guide them on their excursions. However, trends come and go and the outdoor sports of hunting and fishing have had decreasing numbers of participants. As fewer and fewer people have sought game in the north woods, the sporting camps have had to adapt in order to survive. Now people head to the wilderness for biking, hiking, bird watching, kayaking, or simply to experience the tranquility. And Maine sporting camps have met the challenge, offering a wide array of services, from animal and bird watching excursions to wild flower and native plant guided walks. And the services have changed too. Today camps offer everything from gourmet meals and the finest amenities to unheated, unplumbed cabins to give you the true wilderness experience. In this guide, George Smith profiles the 50 or so sporting camps that are still in operation in Maine. He includes interviews with the staff and owners and gives his own experiences staying at each camp. Each entry also includes pertinent information on amenities, services offered, seasons and times of operation, as well as directions. If you're looking to get away from it all in Maine, this guide will help you find the road less traveled.

Historic Sporting Camps of Moosehead Lake, Maine by Roger Moody Pdf

As a long-term Moosehead Lake camp owner, I've often wondered about the histories of the sporting camps on the lake. How have these camps responded to the economic, technological, and cultural changes brought by the passage of time from the post-Civil War era to that of the present day; to the changes from transportation by stage, railroads, and steamers to road networks and automobiles; to the 40-hour work week and increases in leisure time; to the impact of "back to nature" movements; and to the cultural favor or disfavor of hunting and fishing? These questions begged for exploration. Fortunately, sporting camps at some 35 sites around the lake have evolved from the 1880s and 1890s to continue to exist today. From economic necessity, all current camps, even those that have existed for 100 years or more, place increased emphasis on recreational and outdoor experiences aside from hunting and fishing. They have thrived by adjusting and evolving over the years to offer customer services and experiences which reflect social and cultural trends, and the ongoing development of new technologies.
