TAKE A HIKE! 

Join Maine Master Guide, Isaac Dorr on a guided hike up Great Pond Mountain and through the Wildlands conservation area. Great Pond Mountain is on the other side of our lake and can be accessed by canoe/kayak or by a short drive.   Isaac is an expert in primitive skills along with plant and wildlife identification.  A hike with him will give you an appreciation for the natural beauty and secrets of the Maine woods.

The hike is appropriate for adults and families with older children.  The hike takes about two hours with time to stop and learn about the natural elements and enjoy the spectacular views.  The cost is $40 for a group of up to 6 people.   Just let us know when you make your reservation and we will arrange your special mountain trip.

The lakes in Maine have great fishing year-round. Alamoosook Lake has trout, salmon, pickerel and bass. When you stay at the Inn we make it easy for you to enjoy a day of fishing with no hassle. We have partnered with Dave's Guide Service, and are now offering fishing trips. Dave, our fishing guide, is a professionally licensed Maine Guide with years of experience. He knows just the right spots and what bait works. Dave will supply the fishing poles, tackle and bait. He can recommend the best lake for your fishing experience and will personally take you out in the boat to the best spots on the lake. It couldn’t be easier! A four hour guided fishing trip for up to 2 people is only $200. If you don’t have a license, Dave can even help you with that!

Make sure to make a date with Dave when you book your room!
