From tropical-island-getaways to big city experiences – everyone craves something specific when they want to escape the daily grind for a while. So, what is so special about Piscataquis County? If you’ve never been here, it will be impossible to understand. There’s a lifeforce here – it’s in the air, it’s in the people; it brings with it an experience that clears the mind, calms the heart, and rejuvenates the spirit. In the heart of central Maine, away from the crowds, the traffic, and the busyness of life, Piscataquis County is enveloped by nature and infused with possibility. It’s time to unplug – to give your soul the reprieve that it’s begging for. Camp out under stars so close you’ll swear you can touch them. Rest in a hammock while gazing upon lakes so majestic, they’ll take your breath away. Take a kayak out alone or enjoy white-water rafting with your family. Grab your buddies and hike the Appalachian Trail right through our county or break out the mountain bikes to cover more terrain; and maybe, if you’re really lucky, you’ll stumble across one of Piscataquis’s hidden waterfalls – over 100 have been cataloged in Southern Piscataquis alone! Rent a cabin on Sebec Lake - fish all day or rent an ATV and dig in to our trails. The choice is yours. There’s no schedule, no pressing agenda – just you and nature – and nothing but time. If you’re here during the winter months, you may want to try ice-fishing for the first time, or rent a snowmobile, or grab your skis and hit the slopes. In every season- for any reason, Piscataquis is the perfect getaway. Looking to reconnect with your family? This is the place to do it. In addition to the countless outdoor adventures you can experience together, Piscataquis has county-wide festivals and community events, like the Maine Whoopie Pie Festival in June, or the Piscataquis Valley Fair in August. This is the stuff memories are made of and now’s the time to make them.

  • The Maine Chance
    The claim of a federal “land grab” in response to the creation of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine revealed a lack of historical awareness by critics of how two other cherished parks were established there: through private-public partnerships and the donation of land by private citizens.

  • Lily Bay State Park, a Haven for Nature Lovers Only Minutes from the Lodge at Moosehead Lake
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lily Bay State Park, a Haven for Nature Lovers Only Minutes from The Lodge at Moosehead Lake Greenville, ME, May, 2009 – Lily Bay State Park, only a few miles north of the Lodge at Moosehead Lake, offers access to some of the best outdoor recreation in the state of Maine. Henry David Thoreau first visited the Moosehead area in 1857. He was a naturalist and writer from Concord, MA and at the core of his being he was a traveler, much by foot but some by boat. Thoreau recognized that the wilderness to be found in the forests of Moosehead was a rarity. Its 925 acres is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts offering visitors an opportunity to view moose, deer, bear, loon, osprey, eagles, hare, fox and beaver in their natural environment. Spectacular mountains serve as a backdrop to the blue waters where, practically unchanged from the days of Thoreau, Lodge guests enjoy hiking, canoeing, swimming, fishing, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, dog sledding and spectacular fall foliage. The landmark peak in the area, Mt. Kineo, rises abruptly from the middle of the lake. The sheer cliffs of Mt. Kineo tower 800 feet above the water and offer incredible vistas. Lily Bay State Park was donated to Maine by the Scott Paper Company in 1961. It is part of the massive, undeveloped quarter of Maine that includes the Allagash, Baxter Park, and countless miles of logging roads and timberland. “The Lodge at Moosehead Lake provides our guests with a pristine doorway to that final remnant of wilderness. Here they can be pampered and relax, only minutes from the largest undeveloped area east of the Mississippi,” states Linda Bortis, inn owner.

  • Proposed Criteria for the Determination of BSP Camping Fees
    C:\Users\jensen.bissell\Documents\BSPA\BSP Reports\FeeReview\2016 Review\FEE REVIEW 2016 Final.docx9/6/2016 Protocol for the Review of BSP Camping Fees. Review Date: August 2016 I. Background: BSP operates independently of the General Fund and receives no State revenues for Park operation. Park operations are funded by a combination of revenues from Trust Endowments, fees for the use of camping facilities, revenues from the sale of forest products from the Scientific Forest Management Area, entrance fees charged to non-Maine registered vehicles, sale of bundled firewood for campfires, fees for the use of Park canoes, and a variety of miscellaneous fees including sale of books & maps, fishing licenses. In addition to these sources, the Park receives significant unearned revenue from unsolicited donations. These donations include dedicated revenues (Baxter Wilderness Trust) as well as random donations from individuals. In fiscal year 2015, donations comprised approximately 3.5% of total Park revenue. Considerable attention has been given to specifying policy for the management of Trust Endowments. The resulting spending policy provides guidance regarding the withdrawals from BSP Endowment Funds in order to help insure the protection of the fund principal and the ability of the funds to provide, in perpetuity, a level of revenue equal to or greater than the current level. With the strict definition of endowment spending levels, it is important that interior sources of revenue act as an expandable (and contractible) component of Park revenues
