Camping in the Lakes and Mountains Region of North Western Maine
- Stratton/Eustis

Camping - taste the outdoors


Above you, blue sky with puffs of clouds.
On either side changing curtains of green.
The lake and mountains draw you in.

I smell the pine trees

Daybreak


You slip out of bed and dress soundlessly.
Pull on a sweatshirt and shoes.
Softly slip out of the tent
and breath in a new day.
The green sway of ferns along
the path to the forest.
Plush moss underfoot and a
canopy of Norway Pine branches overhead.
And now, a song that seems to
come from above and below,
from near and far, from around you
and within you at once.
This is how the birds say
good morning in Eustis.


Join generations of families who have made annual pilgrimages
to North Western Maine. You'll find ferns unfurling and flowers blooming
beside the trails. Take a wildflower walk. Paddle a canoe through a spring
surge of whitewater. Bike on a mountain trail. When dusk comes, listen to the peepers. Lie back and count the stars all through the summer night.
In autumn, fall for the foliage. Explore the villages of Eustis and Stratton.
And dream about what you will do tomorrow in Eustis.
