MAKE YOUR NEXT TRIP A SPLASH
Our camps are conveniently located on the pristine Fourth Debsconeag Lake – so pack your swimsuit and a towel. With water this clean, clear, and cool, taking a dip (or a jump) in the lake is simply a must during your visit! Learn more about our swimming resources below.
We are happy to offer access to the water through a variety of floats, including our swim platform, located approximately 25 yards off-shore between camps High and Birch.
Guests who prefer to wade into the water can easily do so from the sandy shores of Chickadee Cove, located just past the picnic table in front of Chickadee Camp.
Feel free to bring your own floats with you for your stay, but if you’d rather travel lightly, we offer pool noodles for use in the lake – please ask your caretaker for more information!
