Acton, Maine
This is my beloved family retreat and I trust that you will treat it as such. My biggest rule is NO SMOKING OF ANY KIND. GIVEN OUR PROXIMITY TO THE LAKE IF THERE WERE TO BE A FIRE WE WOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO REBUILD. With that out of the way please respect the land as you would your own AND ENJOY YOUR TIME. If your dog poops, please scoop and either carry out or place in metal trash bin provided at bottom of driveway. There is also a pooper scooper there for your use. If in season and water turned on, feel free to use the hose attached to the side of the outdoor shower on the little camp (first camp at end of driveway opposite little beach). If the water to the camps is turned off, the hose will not work. THE HOUSES ARE OFF LIMITS INCLUDING PORCHES. THE DOCKS ARE OFF LIMITS. ABSOLUTELY NO CAMPFIRES. The area that can be used for swimming is immediately adjacent to the end of the driveway on the right down a small slope. It has a wonderful view down the lake. Please do not venture any farther on to the property towards the camps. Do not go down to the point of land (peninsula) jutting in to the middle of the lake where the dock is attached. This dock comes in off season. During the summer season there are chairs at the beach (THEY ARE PUT AWAY IN OFF SEASON) so that you can sit and relax and play with your dogs while at the beach. Please feel free to throw sticks and to bring food and hang out. All trash should go in metal can where dog poop goes. Please try to limit trash as we have to call someone to pick up our trash (we do not have routine trash service). We have wildlife. Our precious loons make frequent appearances. Do not let your dogs swim or chase these birds. I have two hunting dogs and they want nothing more than to get these birds - I get it! Otherwise enjoy walking and letting your pups explore off leash. Our land is a peninsula so they can run and explore with the natural boundary of the lake. Across the road we also own a couple acres if you would like to bushwhack and explore there - there is no formal trail. My advice for the best visit would be to park at the top of the road in the grassy area, walk down the road. Veer left at the annex for a quick extra exploration then retrace your steps, keeping the water (cove) to your right. Follow the driveway all the way down and you will reach the camps where your pup(s) can swim at the beach, then hike back up. Wear good sturdy shoes - the road is rocky and at times wet and muddy. I hope you enjoy the spot! Please reach out with any questions or concerns. AND AGAIN NO SMOKING OF ANY KIND PLEASE
