Bradford Camps

FreshwaterNorth Maine Woods (T8 R10) — Munsungan Lake, Aroostook River headwaters

Bradford Camps is a group of log cabins in the North Maine Woods, on the shore of Munsungan Lake, about two hours by logging road from Ashland. Anglers troll the lake for landlocked salmon and lake trout, or cast for wild brook trout and blueback charr on outlying ponds where only fly fishing is allowed, some reached by floatplane. There is no electricity in the cabins and no internet in camp.
