Secluded Campgsite on Beautiful Pond

The Little Notch Pond campsite is located in the Little Moose Public Lands area in Greenville, Maine. The area provides lots of recreation opportunities including hiking, fishing, paddling, and wildlife viewing. The pond is located deep in the public lands area and nicely tucked into the woods away from any road noise or busy spots in the park.

Entrance to the trailhead leading to the campsite is well-marked and there is a nice large parking lot. Head down the relatively easy trail (about 250 feet elevation change) for about ¾ of a mile until you reach the campsite. (Just before the campsite, the trail will turn off to the left, stay straight to get to the Little Notch Campsite about another 20 yards.) The campsite if free and available on a first-come, first-served basis. If this campsite if occupied, you can continue on the trail to the Big Notch Pond Campsite which is about a half mile away. 

The campsite is not very large so multiple tents may not fit but it is secluded and very nice. There is a picnic table, fire pit and water access. There is also a toilet which is essentially a toilet seat on an open wooden frame with chicken wire around it. There are some boats and canoes stashed in the area and I’m not sure if you are allowed to use them (some were locked to trees, others were not). Some look like they have been there for quite a while. There is no live bait allowed for fishing in the pond in order to protect the native brook trout population. You do need to obtain a permit (call 207-695-3721) prior to kindling a fire and can collect firewood but many of it is wet and unseasoned.
