The quaint village of Grand Lake Stream is nestled in the woods of Washington County, Maine, about ten miles off Route One, which runs along the Canadian border. Eastern Maine’s commercial center, the city of Bangor, is about a two hour drive away. The Grand Lake Stream Area has a long history of catering to those desiring outdoor activities including fishing, hunting, canoeing, hiking, birding, wildlife watching, photography, and the winter sports of cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. Although lumbering, the tanbark industry, and mills have historically played a major role in supporting the towns of Grand Lake Stream and nearby Princeton, the abundant wilderness and many pristine lakes and streams created the perfect setting for lodges, inns, and sporting camps dating back to the 1800s…and many still to be found today! The outdoor experiences in this unspoiled corner of Maine are incomparable and keep folks coming back year after year to escape from the stresses of their busy lives and enjoy the lost art of relaxation!
