The Norridgewock

It’s rare to find a place so completely off the grid that not only is there no cell service, there is no road to get there. To travel to the Norridgewock Lodge, a place known only to snowmobilers and true campers, the trip (in the spring, summer and fall) starts with a boat ride across the Stillwater Reservoir. Your captain, part of the fifth generation of the family who lives in this small town year round, begins your journey with a history lesson. Ragtime music plays through the speakers as you hear the tale of how the Norridgewock came to be. Cruising past the remote beach campsites on the reservoir, bald eagles and even moose can be seen at the right time of year. You’re greeted at the dock by an old school bus which takes you the short distance into the town. Once at the Norridgewock Lodge you can dine, drink and wander around the gift shop while taking in the local atmosphere.
