Located on the shore of Long Pond near Greenville, in Maine’s Moosehead Lake Region, and surrounded by 66,000-acres of AMC-owned conservation land, Gorman Chairback is the newest stop on AMC’s popular lodge-to-lodge ski route, as well as a spectacular wilderness destination on its own. More than a Maine cabin rental, Gorman Chairback offers home cooked meals and guided programs in addition to unlimited opportunities for hiking and skiing on over 80 miles of AMC-maintained trails, paddling and fishing for native brook trout, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the region. Newly refurbished private cabins include queen beds, wood stoves, and gas lamps.

The new lodge is designed for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building certification. Furnishings have been provided through a generous donation by L.L. Bean. 

Gorman Chairback was first built as a private camp in 1867, and was a commercial sporting camp until 1990, when it became a private summer residence. As part of its Maine Woods Initiative, AMC is pleased to be reopening this historic Maine sporting camp to the public.
