Fishing at Lakewood Camps

Lakewood Camps, because of its ideal location, has the unique distinction of allowing guests the opportunity to either fly fish on the famous Rapid River or troll the waters of the Richardson Lakes.
One of the few remaining wild rivers in existence, Rapid River falls nearly 1,100 feet in less than eight miles and offers some of the finest Landlocked Salmon and Brook Trout (fly fishing only) in the Northeast. So anglers have the option to don waders and fish the many pools along the length of the river or anchor in a rental rowboat and fish "Pond in the River".
The nineteen mile long Richardson Lakes are the only bodies of water in the Rangely Lakes Region to hold Lake Trout (called Togue in Maine). Togue along with Landlocked Salmon and Brook Trout offer the lake fishermen a variety of possible fishing techniques. Guests may either rent a boat and motor at Camp or bring their own.
