About this property
Lakefront Getaway with Kayak, Canoe and dock
The Private Waterfront area is 250' with a 35 foot dock. The Lake
tends to stay warm for a Maine Lake and drops off slowly. It is about
6 to 10 feet deep at the end of the dock. Plenty of Swimming and
Outdoor Activities are available. There is a boat landing at the bridge about 1 1/2 miles up from the camp if you have your own boat. Otherwise, a boat and motor or canoe is provided for your enjoyment. New for Summer of 2019, new kayak, regular electric line (Solar will be there for backup only. No more monitoring electric meter). New Refrigerator. Camp is open from June 15th to October 30th every year. Smoking is not allowed; if you or your guests smoke inside, you will be billed for the damages.
Mainstream is not commercial and abounds with wildlife, including Moose, Deer, and Beavers, as well as a large variety of Birds.
We have added a two person kayak and a child kayak plus two rowboats and a canoe for the Summer of 2023. We already had a canoe and boat available. Also, we are extending our dock out 50 feet from shore for better swimming.
The Portland Press Herald has listed Mainstream Pond in Harmony and its associated river chain as one of the top 5 locations for kayaking and canoeing in the State of Maine. if you enjoy seeing bald eagles fly over and beaver building their lodges as well as plenty of recreational opportunities then Mainstream is a great place to get away
The fishing is excellent if you like Bass and Pickerel. We are only
minutes from the Harmony General Store which also has laundry facilities? Mainstream is part of the Sebasticook River Chain and has rapid falls below the Mainstream bridge.

I built Mainstream camp from 2000 to 2010.
Why they chose this property
A beautiful Wilderness Experience: Plenty of Fishing, and Hiking up to Devils Head Overlooking the Mainstream Pond and Great Moose Lake. Also, there is hiking around the 90 acres surrounding the Camp. Canoe & Kayak Upstream 30 Miles on Sebasticook River, Maine or downstream It is very quiet here and the fishing is excellent. Harmony is 5 minutes away so you are close enough to Harmony but have privacy as well
What makes this property unique
Additional activities include walking, hiking, exploring, camping, wildlife photography, bird watching, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, sunning; fall foliage is breathtaking; great fishing for small and large mouth bass, white and yellow perch, pickerel, stocked brown trout, brook trout in tributaries, bass and pickerel fishing very good right off rocks in front of cottage; guide services nearby, scenic and historic Maine Coastal towns, Acadia National Park and Baxter State Park within a short drive for excellent day trips; Mainstream Pond is about 3 hours north of Boston, one hour from Augusta and Bangor, and only 20-25 minutes off exit 150 of the Maine Turnpike/Route 95 (Pittsfield exit); groceries, gas, laundromat, post office, hardware store, bank, other necessities and supplies available within 10 minutes in close-by, quaint town of Harmony; Walmart, Marine Store, and larger hardware store 30 minutes away in Newport; Mainstream Pond is perfectly located between the southern edge of the remote North Maine Woods and small towns to the south and east..

We have added two person kayak and a child kayak plus two rowboats and a canoe for the Summer of 2023. We already had a canoe and boat available. Also, we are extending our dock out 50 feet from shore for better swimming.
