Seasonal Information:
Portage Lake is a four season sporting destination.

The FALL hunting season includes opportunities for ruffed grouse/partridge, waterfowl, trophy black bear, moose and deer.

The WINTER season features Aroostook County snowmobile trails that are nationally recognized as some of the best in the lower 48 states. Trails are accessible directly from the cottage.

Please visit the following sites for up to date snowmobile trail conditions:

Portage Lake is open to ice fishing and has native brook trout, salmon and smelts. The SPRING and SUMMER seasons provide more opportunities for fishing as well as canoing, kayaking and recreational boating.

Local ATV trails are also accessible directly from the cottage. Portage Lake is on the edge of the 3.5 million acre North Maine Woods System. The Musquacook Lakes and Allagash River region are an easy day trip away, as is the popular Red River area - known for its quality fly fishing for wild eastern brook trout.

The Previous Owners:
A big thanks to Jim and Shelly Fahey, the previous owners of this fine Portage Lake Rental, for helping out with our transition and keeping up with the bookings and correspondence with recent and near future clients!

The New Owners:
We are Paula & Ernie Smith and live in Bucksport and are called the "Traveling Nomads" by our family because we never light very long in one place.We have only been up a half dozen times, fall and winter, and are looking forward to spending some quality time at this great Portage Lake Vacation Rental ourselves! This area of the North Maine Woods is a great area to come and relax in! And we are really looking forward to some great trout and salmon fishing!

This website is new and will likely go through many growing pains. With a domain name like
