Also the practice of transporting firewood for a distance of more than 50 miles from home, even within the state is discouraged.
This is due to the threat of invasive insects that are transported in the firewood.
Out of respect for the landowner and the north woods, we no longer allow firewood to be brought into camp in order to protect the forest from invasive insects.
We do have firewood for sale at the office. For more information please click on the link. Firewood
Frost Pond's 198 acres is a spring fed brook
trout haven; squaretails of 1 ½ pounds aren't uncommon.
A 3/4 mile trail, reached by boating across the pond, leads
to Little Frost Pond, where exceptionally deep waters can
yield some real beauties. We have a rental canoe and row boat
at this location. There are a number of small ponds and brooks
offering a variety of fishing opportunities for everyone.
The West Branch of the Penobscot River offers ten miles of famous
landlocked salmon fishing beginning only a short distance from
the camps. For those who bring their own boats, there are several
attractive lakes and large ponds a short distance away.
We have canoes, kayaks and boats with outboard motors for rent
on Frost Pond. You may bring your own boat, but it is a hand
launch pond so you will have to carry it to put it in the pond.
There is not any back in boat launch on Frost Pond.
All motorized watercraft require a "Lake and River Protection
Sticker" to operate in Maine inland waters. (Even
Seaplanes are required to have them)
Non-resident and Resident fishing and hunting licenses are available
at the office.

Due to some real nasty
invasive plants that we would like to keep out of the surrounding
waters, we ask that you take some precautions before heading
out fishing. Didymo or Rock Snot (Didymosphenia geminata), Eurasian
Milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) and Variable leaf milfoil (myriophyllum
heterophyllum) are the three that are of the utmost concern
at this time.
More information about these nasty invasives can be found on
the following websites, as well as information about how to
properly clean your equipment before heading to camp.
From
Vermont's Dept of Environmental Conversation, Maine's own
University of Maine and the
Lakes Environmental Association in Maine you will be able
to prepare your gear and educate yourself and your fishing friends
on this subject.
If we all take the time to do this, we can help keep this area
clean and enjoyable for generations to come. Even your
great grandchildren will be able to enjoy these waters if all
just take a little time today to be careful of the resources.
