Alamoosook Lakeside Inn

"Editors' Pick" - Yankee Magazine 2003 Travel Guide to New England

Located on the shore of Alamoosook Lake in Orland, Maine, the Alamoosook Lodge provides guests an opportunity to savor the beauty of nature in a retreat-like setting. The Lodge enjoys both the quiet life of an inland lake and easy access to the splendor of Penobscot Bay and the coast. Situated in the heart of Downeast Maine, just off Coastal Route 1, the Lodge is the perfect central location for visiting the famous coastal communities such as Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Castine, and Blue Hill. The Lodge is also conveniently located near Bangor, Bucksport and Ellsworth.

Alamoosook Lake's peaceful habitat is home to a diverse wildlife population including loons, eagles, ospreys, cormorants, deer, otter, beaver and even a passing black bear. Many guests have said that it feels like being in the middle of a nature preserve! In addition to wildlife watching Alamoosook Lake has great fishing for bass, trout, pickerel and salmon. We have canoes and kayaks so that our guests can enjoy the lake and its wildlife. Also, unlike our famous frigid ocean waters, our lake is great for swimming!
