Lakewood Camps

FreshwaterRangeley Lakes, Andover — Middle Dam on Lower Richardson Lake, Rapid River and Pond in the River

Lakewood Camps goes back to 1853 and stands at Middle Dam on Lower Richardson Lake in western Maine, the one lodge on the Rapid River open to the public. Guests walk trails along the river to fish for native brook trout and landlocked salmon, alone or with a guide, and sleep in lakeside cabins with meals in the main lodge. The only way in is a short boat ride across the lake.

Season

May to June

In 2027 the camp is open only from May 14 to June 30, because improvements take up its usual fall season. In a normal year the best fishing is from mid-May until late September or early October, as early hatches of Hendricksons and Quill Gordons give way to caddis and alderflies.
