Twin Pine Camp on Daicey Pond; Baron Mountain behint 



huge fork the 142,000 acres of Baxter State Park Wildlife Sanc- 

 tuary are contained. 



Here is a wilderness of intricate streams and rivers, spruce and 

 pine forest, and closely jumbled mountain peaks. Katahdin 

 itself is conceded to be the East's most striking single mountain, 

 its impressive, gray granite crags and upper slopes seeded by the 

 great glacier with Icelandic and Greenland flora. 



Background for wilderness sporting camps! Here are hundreds 

 of lakes with strange names, the mountains rising from their 

 shores. Katahdin Lake, or lake-of-the-big-hill; Nesowadnehunk 

 Lake, or the mountains-from-Katahdin-that-stream-runs-among- 

 them; Wassataquoick, meaning white or light-colored water, or 

 fish-speai ing-stream-place; Allagash, meaning bark-cabin-lake. 



The approach to the Katahdin region from the west and south 

 is via the Millinocket-Greenville road. This road gives access to 

 some of the oldest and most famous wilderness sporting camps: 

 Twin Pine, Kidney Pond, Togue Ponds, and Katahdin Lake 

 Camps, and Camp Phoenix on Sowadnehunk Lake are all 

 addressed at Millinocket, Maine. It is best to make reservations. 



The only other approach by car to the Katahdin region is via 

 the town of Patten from the east and north. At Patten turn north 

 on Route 159 to Shin Pond ten miles. Shin Pond is the last 

 overnight accommodation. From here on it's wilderness. On 

 lower Shin Pond is the seaplane base for Elmer Wilson's Shin 

 Pond Flying Service. The Shin Pond House and cabins is a good 

 place to spend the night and make plans. And pilot Elmer 

 Wilson should be consulted for up-to-the-minute dope on wilder- 

 ness camps and wilderness lake and stream fishing, or hunting. 



Camp Wapiti is reached by two miles of rough but passable 

 auto road from Shin Pond. This camp on Davis Pond is run by 

 Albert and Maude Turner. Log guest cabins are attractively 

 located on the shore of the pond, which has a view of Mt. Katah- 

 din. Wapiti's main dining room is considered a sort of museum 

 piece for the Maine type. 



Chapman's Bowlin Camps, inaccessible by car, are located on 

 the east branch of the Penobscot River at the confluence of 

 Bowlin Brook. You can fly in from Shin Pond or make other
