AMC is supporting regional nature-based tourism efforts by creating an interconnected network of network of overnight accommodations and trails, and offering guided outdoor recreation programs.

AMC's Maine Wilderness Lodges offer private cabins and home-cooked meals, and serve as destinations for hiking, paddling, fly fishing, snowshoeing and skiing.  Backcountry tentsites and shelters offer additional opportunities for backcountry exploration.

AMC is committed to public access. All trails and ponds within within our 66,000-acre conservation and recreation area are open to the public for hiking, paddling, fishing, and hunting. Access is managed through the KI-Jo Mary Multiple Use Forest, and gate fees may apply. We welcome local guides to offer programs on our property and bring guests to our lodges. Contact our Greenville office at 207-695-3085 for more information.
