The Top 100 Most Beautiful Rustic Vacations of North America 2003 by Dusty Dave
The Bradford Camps
Enjoy the spectacular beauty of northeastern Maine’s
Munsungan Lake at Bradford Camps. Flying
in to The Bradford Camps is like flying back one hundred years in time.
The airplane sets down on Munsungan Lake, surrounded by nothing
but tall pines and steep ridges, centered in Maine’s fabled North
Maine Woods. As you taxi to
the dock, the cabins appear through the trees with inviting chairs on
open porches. Once docked,
your luggage is brought up the steps, past the main lodge and dining
room, to your own cabin on the water. Settle
in with a cocktail on the porch while you await the supper bell.
The drink is cooled with ice cut from the lake every winter, just
as it has always been at Bradford Camps.
Sunday means a full-spread turkey dinner with homemade bread and
apple pie. After dinner,
meet with a guide to go over the prospects of tomorrow’s fishing. The
woods and waters around Munsungan are wild and deep.
They are home to deer, bear, moose, beaver, coyote, bobcat,
eagles and ospreys. You
have the opportunity for a fly-out and overnight trip to one of the
outpost camps and many other remote fishing waters in the area.
If you enjoy canoeing or kayaking, there are at least four
beaches around Munsungan Lake to discover for a picnic and a swim. |
