Umcolcus Sporting Camps - A Traditional Northern Maine Sporting Lodge

Umcolcus Sporting Camps provide a peaceful getaway for anyone seeking an authentic Maine adventure, whether it’s hunting, fishing, or a family vacation. There’s something here for everyone. Nestled in northern Penobscot County (T8-R6), these camps have welcomed sportsmen and vacationers alike for over three generations since 1917. As the new owners starting January 2025, we’re committed to carrying on this proud tradition. We invite all outdoor enthusiasts to come experience “the way life used to be.”

Family Vacations

Looking for a relaxing family vacation? Spend some time at a traditional Maine sporting camp. The remote forest surrounding our cabins offers opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching, canoeing, and more. For a more adventurous winter getaway, enjoy snowmobiling with trail access right from our camp, as well as snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. It’s a great way to connect with nature as a family. Umcolcus Sporting Camps is also just about an hour’s drive from the north entrance of Baxter State Park.

Hunting

With thousands of acres of undeveloped forest at your doorstep, the hunting is some of the finest Maine has to offer. Deer, Moose, Bear and Coyote as well as small game such as Grouse and Snowshoe Hare all can be found here. Our warm, clean cabins ensure your comfort after a day afield.

Fishing

The Umcolcus Deadwater, only steps from your cabin, and surrounding streams, lakes and ponds offer great fishing opportunities. Whether you enjoy casting a fly to rising wild brook trout, or exploring a small stream with a spinning rod, it's all nearby. Fun for the novice or experienced fishermen. Registered Maine Guides are available for fishing adventures daily or weekly.

Canoe Trips

Whether you’d like to canoe or kayak on the Umcolcus Deadwater, the Aroostook River, or explore some of the remote ponds and waterways, we’ve got you covered. We also offer exciting remote canoeing and kayaking trips. Adventure awaits—give us a call for more information.
