Directions

Where in the world are we?

• In T3R7, Maine, USA.
  T3R7 means Township 3, Range 7. We are near Baxter State Park and the towns of Patten, Sherman, Benedicta, and Stacyville
• In Wildlife-Management District 10 and near 11
• On a river called the East Branch of the Penobscot

Please note: In the winter we can only be reached by snowmobile.

From Interstate Route 95 heading north

1. Go from your location to Route 95 NORTH in Maine.
2. Take exit 264 (formerly exit 58) in Sherman, the exit for the North Entrance to Baxter State Park.
3. Turn LEFT at the end of the exit ramp onto Route 158. You'll only be on this road about a minute, and will pass, on your right, an Irving gas station.
4. Take the first left after the Irving onto Grindstone Road/Route 11 South, and go straight, toward Stacyville.
5. Stay on Route 11 South for 5 miles. Note your mileage. The road makes a sharp turn to the left. Don't make the turn! Stay straight.
6. When you stay straight you will be on Swift Brook Road. The road becomes dirt after about 100 feet. In about a quarter mile, on clear days, a panoramic view of the mountains opens before you.
7. Stay straight for 7.5 miles to camp. At 5 miles there is a fork in the road - keep going straight, downhill and then along the river for the last 2.5 miles. The driveway is on the right.
