WASHINGTON COUNTY, MAINE lies at the
easternmost tip of Maine and the nation - hence its nickname the “Sunrise
County”. As the distinct and rugged corner of Maine referred to
as“Downeast”, its 2 1/2 thousand square miles encompass virtually
every aspect that is Maine; vast expanses of deep woods and glacial heath,
clean lakes, sparkling streams, and whitewater rivers all running to the
sea.. Within its borders exists one of the largest tracts of unspoiled
semi-wilderness remaining in the continental U.S. - surrounded by over
1000 miles of spectacular Maine coastline. With most of its population
clustered in small towns and villages along the coast, the interior remains
largely unsettled. However, Washington County, perhaps due to its remote
location, has remained relatively unpublicized and free of mass tourism.
CATHANCE
LAKE is a large (over 3,000 acres) spring fed lake
in the heart of the Downeast interior. Considered one of the premier lakes in the region, Cathance Lake is known for the quality of its water,
and it’s landlocked salmon fishing; a substantial portion of the
shoreline remains protected and undeveloped. The sound of loons characterize
the lake, and the occasional bald eagle may be seen overhead. Cathance
Lake is located on Route 191 - approximately 20 miles north of the historic
coastal shiretown of Machias. Calais, Maine/ St. Stephen, NB, gateway
to the Canadian Maritime provinces, is a 25 mile drive to the northeast.

THE PROPERTY:
SUNRISE COUNTY CANOE
EXPEDITIONS, established in 1973, and known as
an icon of the Maine Guide legacy, utilized the property at Cathance
Lake as the Eastern Maine Base Camp for over 30 years. Quiet and secluded,
with an unrestricted view of the lake, this historic Maine outfitting
camp has now reverted to a private compound. The property is over 4
acres, with docks, wooded trails, a small camping area, garden, and
several outdoor fireplaces. Rustic, though well-kept, with buildings
and artifacts dating back to the early 1930’s the entire property
has an ambiance and atmosphere that have attracted visitors to return
for decades. Picturesque and classic in appearance, the premises have
actually been used several times over the years as a shooting location
for film and advertising. This rental offers a large
private property - with plenty of room, and privacy, to relax and enjoy
one of the finest settings in eastern Maine.
