*** I did this trip in 2019, so some of the details are a little foggy. I am late in posting this, but hope you enjoy it anyway!
Directions: From Rangeley State Park Campground: Turn Right onto S Shore Rd. Drive a little less than three miles, turn right onto Rt. 17 for about 3.5 miles. Turn Right onto Rt. 4 for about a quarter of a mile onto Rt. 16. Drive about 5.5 miles and look for the public boat launch sign on the right. If you go over the bridge, you went too far.
Parking: There is space for several vehicles here at the boat launch/parking lot. I assume people use this launch most often to access Cupsutic Lake, the bigger lake.
Launch: Cement ramp
Looking under the bridge out towards the big lake from the launch.
Fees: None
Bathroom: Outhouse
Wildlife: Loons, heron, likely deer, moose, other
Notes: I was excited to do this paddle. I was hoping to see some moose! When I arrived at the launch I hurried to get on the water because as I looked I thought perhaps those dark spots were moose... or at least one moose! Spoiler alert... they weren't!! HA!
This day I was on the water early and there was the morning mist that I enjoy!
I paddled around the edges of this part of the lake and enjoyed what it had to offer.
GLadys struggled to settle on this trip... we had to make our way to shore multiple times to see if she would go to the bathroom. She was stubborn!
As the sun came up we were treated to a rainbow!
As the mist cleared the reflections were beautiful!
There was a pair of loons here that were fun to watch.
Postcard?!
While exploring the edges, I went behind an island and found some cool..sculptures! It was pretty cool!
I enjoyed this part of Cupsuptic Lake. I think the bigger part of the lake is probably beautiful as well, but I like the smaller, less people places...
I would definitely return here!
