The valley is encompassed by Maine's northwestern mountains, close to the Quebec border. It is a large watershed with numerous mountain lakes and streams, all miles from the nearest paved roads. Here our guests enjoy wilderness activities away from the crowds, fishing on lakes and streams that see little pressure and hunting away from other hunters. They experience the solitude of hiking secluded forest trails.
Canoeists enjoy the serenity of remote ponds and rivers.
Hardscrabble is dedicated to providing guests the opportunity to enjoy the Maine woods. Our 5 well maintained, fully modernized private log cabins which were built around 1900, are available from May 1st thru November. Delicious home-cooked meals are served in the main lodge. Facilities at Hardscrabble include mountain biking, horseshoe pits, a swimming area, boats and motors, canoes and numerous well-marked hiking trails. Hardscrabble is an ideal spot for friends and family to enjoy fishing, hunting, boating, swimming, wildlife watching or just relaxing.
