About
County
Located in western Maine just east of the village of Stratton about 40 miles north of Farmington, Bigelow Preserve includes over 36,000 acres of public land. The preserve encompasses the entire Bigelow Range, which includes seven summits. The highest of these at 4,150 feet is West Peak, one of only 10 Maine summits over 4,000 feet in elevation. Bounded on the north by 20,000-acre Flagstaff Lake, the preserve offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Flagstaff Lake is part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. The Northern Forest Canoe Trail is an historic 740-mile watertrail through New York, Vermont, Quebec, New Hampshire, and Maine.

GuideWalk in ONLY!!!
It mentioned on this site that it's for RV parking, but that isn't accurate. There is a parking lot (which you cannot camp in) and you must walk in (tent only.) We didn't have a text so we moved on. Would go back at another time with a text to check it out.

My fiancé and I tented here over the weekend and although it was chilly at night (33F!) we had a blast having water access right from our site and the ability to park within steps of our tent. Bigelow Preserve offers several free first come first serve sites, some of them require a small hike to get in but they all have a fire ring and outhouse which is an excellent amenity for dispersed camping. Overall it was a nice, sandy, fairly level site with access to some hiking trails and AMAZING water and mountain views.
