Flashing Moose river camping

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents1 acre ¡ Caratunk, ME
Learn more about this land: We are set high on the piney east bank of the Kennebec River. The view is of the setting sun over the untouched hillsides on the opposite bank or the rising sun illuminating and bringing to life that same hillside while you take your first peak of morning. The river rushes by, not a house to be seen. In the distance a loon frolics and sings out it's soulful call. Bald eagles soar over head, fishing, scanning the river valley. Owls hooting in the valley, come closer in the night to see who is still up. There is an echo in the darkness, works during the day too. The stars blaze overhead in the night sky, watch "satellites" track across heavens and the Aurora Borealis, if you are lucky and still up around the camp fire. It is here in front of our camp, where The Kennebec River continues to flow but begins slowing down, stacking up depth behind the Moscow Dam and turning into Wyman Lake, 14 miles of the most scenic boating or paddling you can imagine. 200 yards north of the camp, The Appalachian Trail crosses the river, watch hikers waiting for the famous canoe ferry crossing. Or, hike a section of the trail, Pierce Pond is a healthy 2 hr hike from the camp, to a pristine pond for a remote dip or some fishing. Bring that kayak or stand up paddle board you bought way back when. The river is fun right here, explore for an hour, a day or days. Whitewater rafting, kayaking and canoeing are huge in West Forks, (10 minutes North up 201, watch out for deer and moose) you'll paddle The Dead, The Kennebec and the Penobscot rivers, all the major tour companies are very local and there are cool bars and restaurants. You can tube down from the Forks right to the cabin in a couple of hours. We have a big Glamping tent on the property too, that is listed separately, rent it too if you want the space for friends or the place all to yourselves.

The best camping near Holeb Public Reserved Land guide

Overview

About

Wanderlust is calling and we have the perfect answer: Holeb Public Reserved Land. This 20,000 acre land is best explored by canoe, so bring some supplies and you’re paddling skills, cause there is an epic three-day trip awaiting. Take on several of the Class I and II rapids or stay dry and opt for the portaging options—either way you will get the full rugged experience that Holeb has to offer. The best pay off? An impressively breathtaking waterfall that boasts misty cascades. The hiking trails are abundant here as well, with Sally Mountain and Burnt Jackson Mountain offering scenic trails. Keep in mind that the land eventually becomes private property, so watch where you roam. Finish off the trip with a bomb picnic or cold beer on your own island in the middle of Attean Pond which can only be accessed by boat (time to flex those paddling muscles!).

When to go

The best time to visit Holeb Public Reserved Land is during the warmer months when the trails are clear and the waterways are open for canoeing and boating. Spring flooding can affect access, so summer and early fall are ideal for exploring. Winter offers a serene, snowy landscape for the intrepid adventurer.

Know before you go

  • Check for access updates on the Bureau's Safety page before planning your visit.
  • Be prepared for remote conditions; bring necessary supplies and inform someone of your travel plans.
  • Help protect the forest by purchasing firewood locally—do not transport it to prevent the spread of pests.
  • The picnic area is accessible only by boat, adding to the adventure of your visit.
  • Remember that the Holeb and Attean boat launches may be flooded in spring—plan accordingly.
