    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.

The record of this proceeding demonstrates that the project will satisfy the Department’s permitting standards subject to the conditions in this Order. Issuance of this Order follows a 29-month regulatory review, which included six days of evidentiary hearings and two nights of public testimony. Twenty-two parties, consolidated into ten groups, participated in the evidentiary hearings by helping to shape the administrative review process, providing sworn testimony from dozens of witnesses, cross examining those witnesses, and submitting argument on the interpretation and application of relevant permitting criteria. Hundreds of Maine citizens testified during the public hearings and submitted written comment on the many issues the application presented. The hearing and public comment process provided the Department with critical information and analysis of the applicant's proposal, its impacts, whether and how those impacts can be mitigated, and the availability of alternatives. The record shows the project as originally proposed would have had substantial impacts, particularly in the 53.5-mile portion of the corridor that extends from the Quebec border to The Forks, known as Segment 1.
