Spend the day enjoying our glamping site with your own private tent with queen bed, wood stove, propane heater and portable toilet. Wake up to sound of loons and enjoy a nice cup coffee or tea in your adirondack chairs while watching the morning sun glisten off the crystal clear water only steps away. Go for bike ride or a hike on a numerous trails throughout our 155 acres or take a kayak/canoe ride right from your site. Bring your 4-wheeler or sxs and ride the vast array of trails throughout the area. We are just 2 miles from the ITS 105 connector trail. From there you can head north or south which connect with other state and local club trail systems. Venture over to our main dock on Junior Lake and set out on an adventure and explore the 25,000 acres of clean, glacial lakes with access to 7 of these lakes, such as Bottle lake, Scraggly lake, Junior bay, West Grand....just to name a few, right from our boat launch. Make sure you bring some supplies so you can stop for lunch at one of the many islands and natural beaches that are scattered through the area. Most of the time you will have the lake to yourself as there are no public boat launches on Junior lake which means you can really get a feel for what it's like to be isolated and enjoy true peace and quiet.....although you may have to share the lake with the local loons or bald eagles. We are located in the famous chain lake region of Maine, 20 minutes from the Canadian border and just under 3 hours from Acadia National Park. Take I-95 north 42 miles to exit 227 Lincoln (US-2/MERT6/ ME-116) and turn right. Go 4 miles and turn left at the light onto US-2/ME-6. Follow ME-RT 6 East for 33 miles, passing through down-town Lincoln and Lee. In Springfield, turn right onto Bottle Lake Road. Go 6 miles and turn right onto Depot Rd. Go 1.5 miles and turn left onto East Shore Rd. In .27 miles turn left onto Red Pine Rd. Go about 2 miles, bare left at Middle rd to stay on Red Pine, continue for about 3 miles, you will see the Wild Fox entrance gate on your right, go through the gate and follow signs to the office. You have arrived!

The Shoe Inn

Beautiful spot on horseshoe lake! Very private and remote. The host was responsive to all our questions and we had a great time with our toddler there!

Wild fox was exactly what we were looking for. Here’s what I’d want to read if I were you: the lake is beautiful and the site is right on it. We saw otters, beavers, loons, eagles (and pissed off squirrels), and moose tracks so you might get luckier there. There was almost nobody around any of the lakes we checked out, though I can’t speak for summer. Site has dense-feeling woods with a short walk, it will feel private regardless of the time of year. Showers (coin op)/bathrooms are very clean and not too far, the portable toilet was convenient. Camp store seems thoughtfully stocked, or it’s about half hour to gas station in Springfield. BYO kettle or pot for boiling, everything else is there. BYO propane if you want to use heater (we didn’t, warm sleeping bags were enough). Everyone was very friendly and I’m sure would have been helpful with any issue. I didn’t find many longer hiking trails that weren’t an hour away unless you count the snowmobile and atv routes, but there are several short ones, Dobsis Narrows was nice, Horseshoe Lake trail was accessible, I recommend checking out Almanac Mtn (the one with the tower) which is a short easy hike with gorgeous long views over the lakes. Overall 10/10, the place is perfect for someone who wants to have a bed but also feel like you’re actually in the woods. They also have regular campsites and cabins alternatively. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful place!
