Here are some suggestion for places where driving in is simply not an option. You'll have to get there on your own steam. As the glaciers of the last ice age receded, they left behind the hundreds of lakes and streams that characterize the Moosehead Lake Region. The area is best known among anglers for the granddaddy Moosehead Lake, but many lesser known ponds provide hiking opportunities for access to wild brook trout. The surrounding deciduous forests are comprised of beach, yellow birch and sugar maple in varying states of regrowth - logging activity still continues in many areas.
Higher elevations bring spruce and fir forests.
East and West Chairback Ponds fall on either side of the Appalachian Trail. As the crow flies, the two are about a mile apart. East Chairback Pond is deep, gin-clear and provides challenging fishing on beautiful water. According to the region's fisheries' head, the pond has been negatively affected by acid rain. The fish are still there, but the fish count has diminished a bit.
