Sites are well spaced out and taken care of. The camp has free boat rides on the weekend with informative host. One drawback is the only Wi-Fi is only at the store where you check in. We met multiple people there who have come back many times because of great location. Stock up on groceries before you go. To get to a grocery store it takes over a hour. Make sure to stop at Amherst general store for the home made chocolate chip cookies and Whoopie pies. We are already planning our next trip!!

Zach with Wild Ferns Guide Service delivered an incredible Maine fishing trip friendly,…read moreknowledgeable, and fully dedicated to making it memorable. We caught our limit of landlocked salmon and even landed 18-19 inch smallmouth bass, all while learning valuable techniques and using top notch gear. Beyond the fishing, Zach went above and beyond with great food, a trip to Boon's Island, and genuine hospitality. As a veteran, I deeply appreciate his generosity and commitment this was one of the best guided trips I've ever had. He also has a badass personality. We were completely laughing 75 percent of the trip. He randomly paused got up and said " we are about to get bit I've felt this before" and he wasn't wrong from that point we were pulling in hogs 30 seconds in! My therapist suggested getting out doors into fishing and hunting because I'm up here in Maine. Fishing has completely changed my life and I want to thank Zach for being a complete badass and heck yea!

I feel the need to preface all of my nature reviews with this: being 90% forested and having around…read more3500 miles of coastline, Maine (and NH) has a tremendous amount of spaces, walkways, paths, and trails of all kinds and of all levels. There's something for everyone. What I'm reviewing is how a spot compares to similar outdoor spots in my personal opinion. Being in nature - and remembering to carry in, carry out - is always five stars! :) Parking? Yes (limited). Loop trail? Yes (mostly) Well marked signs? Ehhhhh... (more on that below). Element of surprise? Yes. Gulf Hagas is considered "The Grand Canyon of Maine" (and "The Grand Canyon of The East"). It's a slate gorge with waterfalls, enormous rock walls, and very deep valleys. It's towards the end of the Appalachian Trail (if you're northbound, that is) and there's a really great plaque on a rock at the beginning of the hike by ridge runner Ron Curtis: "Gulf Hagas is an unknown area to many folks, and it belongs to everyone. Everyone should see it to foster the feelings of protecting an everlasting wild place." It is absolutely breathtaking, but it is NOT an easy hike. Parts of the terrain - despite having a trail to walk on - are so wild and primitive that you really, really need to pay attention to your footing (wear sturdy shoes!!! as they say time and time again: "​​Do not underestimate the difficulty of hiking the Appalachian Trail."). When you arrive, you'll need to pay a fee at Katahdin Iron Works (they will also give you a map with points of interest, like the Hermitage and Screw Auger Falls); for two of us it was $22 - they only take checks or cash. After driving over a very small bridge, and down a rough logging road, you have two parking options. We were encouraged by the man at KIW to start at the closer one. This puts you at the West Branch of the Pleasant River - you will need to ford this. It's about 150 feet wide; the water can be deep, and rush quickly, depending on the season. When we came in early August, the water was slow and came up to around our mid-shin/bottom-knee. There were loads of walking sticks waiting for folks to use to help them cross (TAKE ONE, the rocks under the water can be slippery) and there was a ranger waiting on the other side. A pair of young women had recently gotten lost on the AT nearby, so the ranger was there to talk to us/remind us about the difficulty of the trail system ahead. We stuck to the Rim Trail, made it about 1/2 way (Buttermilk Falls) before connecting to the much easier Pleasant River Tote Road to return. If you love hiking *and* you love Maine *and* you love adventure *and* you like a challenge *and* you've got proper gear and a reliable car... this is a must do at least once in your life!
