Join us for a 3 nights getaway in the middle of Maine at AMC’s Medawisla Lodge and Cabins in the Maine Woods Initiative area geared to seniors but open to all. We have timed our stay to take advantage of dark skies to enjoy a sky full of stars without having to stay up late. Bring a lawn chair and sit by the lake for a full view of the sky. Whether you enjoy easier trails in the woods, climbing mountains, off road biking or paddling, you can find something to do here. However, you can just enjoy sitting on the porch at the lodge or down at the lake. Bring your own kayak, paddle board or canoe or use one available there. There are also 2 other ponds to enjoy by canoe down the road. There is off road and trail biking available. Hiking opportunities vary from mostly flat to mountains. Please be sure to bring your equipment and carry the essentials. There is no phone service on most trails in the area. More info on the AMC website (link above). More details will be emailed once you register via the AMC website. First come, first served for bookings.1 attendee
Maine Woods Trail and Boundary Work Weekend at Medawisla Lodge
Location not specified yetJoin us for a weekend of fresh air and fun while helping maintain the trails that provide access to the woods and waters of Maine’s magnificent 100 Mile Wilderness. We’ll stay at AMC’s Medawisla Lodge and Cabins, enjoying the comforts of a spacious bunkhouse, hot showers, relaxing sauna, and home-cooked meals. We’ll perform basic trail maintenance--cleaning drainages, clearing blowdowns, and trimming vegetation--as well as other tasks such as monitoring and marking property boundaries and completing chores around the lodge to get ready for the winter season. Jobs will be easy to moderate, and all tools and training are provided—no experience necessary!
Cost is $175+tax and includes three nights lodging in a coed bunkhouse and all meals from dinner on arrival to lunch on departure. Participants must register for this trip through AMC.
