Dave and I have planning a new kayak camping trip and we found this beautiful spot in Maine near Baxter State Park called Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area which is thankfully protected by the Nature Conservancy. Here's a little description:
Nestled in the shadow of Mount Katahdin, just south of Baxter State Park, The Nature Conservancy’s Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area (DLWA) is a vital link in nearly 500,000 acres of contiguous conservation land.
Debsconeag means "carrying place," named by native people for the portage sites where they carried their birchbark canoes around rapids and waterfalls. The DLWA contains the highest concentration of pristine, remote ponds in New England, as well as thousands of acres of mature forests. A fun Side trip: Traverse mature forests strewn with enormous glacial boulders, enjoy spectacular views of Mount Katahdin and descend into an ice cave for a chilly reminder of winter.
