"The diversity of birds was outstanding..... 82 species observed in our brief stay.  The habitat around Nahmakanta is very  attractive for those seeking the more Northern species.  Seeing loons with baby loons on their back is a big draw for birders! Thank you for a terrific time!"

The Nahmakanta area is a living museum of natural history. Almost everyday we watch moose and deer feed in the shallows in front of the camp. Birds nest around us in an amazing variety and abundance. Nearby stream deltas attract beaver and otter, herons, eagles, and osprey. Nightfall is always punctuated by the wild wailing of loons, the stirring symbol of the North.

"We spend all day hiking in some of the most remote and beautiful wilderness we have ever seen, then return to a clean, comfortable cabin with a great view of the lake...the best of both worlds!  And after 9 years, we still haven't hiked all the trails."

Other nearby attractions include waterfalls with crystal-clear swimming pools below, the self guided "Nahmakanta Nature Trail" and "Nesuntabunt Mountain", which rises 1,000' above Nahmakanta lake and affords magnificent views of Katahdin, Maine's highest peak. It would take several seasons to explore all of the various places of interest and beauty.
