Allagash Wilderness Waterway Wanderers, Haymock Lake, Maine

Welcome to the Allagash Wilderness Waterway Wanderers web site. The cabin shown above is located on Haymock Lake (T7-R11) in Piscataquis County, Maine. It is where the club is home based.

We decided to put up this site to keep people informed of issues concerning the North Maine Woods and to give people a place to find out what events might be happening in the area. You will also be able to find out what the weather is for the area and we are also providing some wonderful photos taken by many of the snowmobilers and others who have traveled the Great North Woods.

Snowmobiling - The area offers the largest snowmobile trail system in the United States.

ATV - Some of the best ATV trails in the country are located right here in Fort Kent. A recently renovated railroad track bed has been converted into an ATV/walking/snowmobile trail. The trail is known as "The Heritage Trail" and goes from Market St in Fort Kent 18 miles west to St. Francis.
