Established in 1880, West Branch Pond Camps is a wilderness refuge in Maine’s Northwoods. Stay in the same historic log cabins that adventurers a century before you did with all the modern conveniences that make you feel at home. This is a paradise for berry picking, swimming, canoeing, bird watching, fly fishing, skiing and hiking, scenically set near White Cap Mountain. Wood heat and hearty home-cooked meals keep you cozy and nourished, while electricity out by 10 pm slows life down to a pace that lets you really relax. Modern living meets rustic beauty and Northwoods tradition at West Branch Pond Camps – so get reacquainted with the wilder side of Maine!

Ecotourism

Moose sightings at West Branch Pond are more dependable than anywhere else in the region. One might stroll right past your cabin! For those with an eye for smaller species, diverse habitats around the cabins make for great bird watching opportunities, and surrounding bogs host unusual plants.

Fishing

Anglers should be sure to pack their fly rods! You can cast for brook trout on the pond or venture just ten miles away to the Roach River. The rivers in this area are among North America’s best landlocked salmon fisheries, and the camps’ owners are happy to guide you toward their favorite spots.

Lake

Set on the tranquil north shore of West Branch Pond with White Cap Mountain towering in the distance, getaways here are all about relaxation and recreation. Find peace of mind on quiet canoe trips or perfect your fly fishing skills on the pond – the brook trout are biting!

Nature

While keeping its cabins up to date with modern conveniences, West Branch Pond has maintained a rustic simplicity that complements its pristine setting deep in the Maine woods. A lakeside location offset by mountains and forests affords guests satisfying back-to-nature experiences.

Ski

Winter snowfall transforms this area into a haven for cross country skiers. Touring on quiet backcountry roads, you'll encounter very few snowmobiles, if any. A couple trails are groomed and maintained, and off trail skiing is unlimited – great for winter adventurers!

Cabins And Cottages

Historic log cabins let you experience the Northwoods ambiance of the past, while modern updates ensure you don’t sacrifice comfort. Cabins are well furnished and equipped with wood heat, indoor plumbing and hot water. Plus, West Branch Pond's American Plan includes three home-cooked meals a day!
