Directions from Brownville Junction or Millinocket, Maine

It is possible to drive to Debsconeag from Route 11 between Brownville Junction and Millinocket see map. If coming from the south turn left at the Jo Mary Lake Campground sign onto the gravel, Jo Mary Road. Within 100 yards you will see the Jo Mary Road Checkpoint, please pull to the right and go into the gatehouse to register and pay a road use fee of  $10 for Maine residents (per way), and $15 for non-residents. We are about a 45-minute to one-hour drive from the Jo Mary Gate.

While you are at the Jo Mary Gate, please use the gatehouse phone to call ahead to Debsconeag Lake Wilderness Camps. This will allow us to meet your party at the boat launch without a delay.

Between the Jo Mary and Henderson gates the road is private although open to the public, please give logging trucks the right of way.

Call ahead so we know you are coming

Give us a call (207-460-5226) when you leave Greenville or the Jo Mary Checkpoint so that we will know when to meet you at the landing or with prior arrangement we can leave a canoe for you to use.

The cabins are about a ¾ of a mile from the landing on the same side of the lake. You can walk in from the landing along the tote road that parallels the lake and turns into a trail; take a right after the snowmobile bridge to follow the shore trail to the camps. We can come back and pickup your gear with the boat.

Flying In

It is also possible to fly into Fourth Debsconeag Lake from Millinocket. We recommend Katahdin Air, which flies out of Ambajejus Lake and charges $40 per person each way.
