Thoroughfare Campsite #2

Allagash, Maine

About

Deboullie Public Land offers remote campsites on crystal-clear trout ponds surrounded by low rugged mountains. The area has a reputation for outstanding fisheries, with native brook trout in many ponds and landlocked salmon and lake trout in Togue Pond. A 30-mile trail network leads to many remote ponds and to Deboullie Mountain (1,981 feet) where a former fire tower offers expansive views of the surrounding region. Hikers can enjoy mountain-top blueberries in August and still find 'ice caves' in denser woods—narrow, shaded crevices where snow and ice can remain year-round. Several small waterfalls offer attractive places to cool off during warm-weather hikes. The ponds, streams, marshes, and forests at Deboullie support an array of wildlife, and visitors may spot black bears, loons, moose, and birds of prey. The wetland habitats support the rare northern bog lemming while upland forests offer shelter to the elusive Canada lynx. Deboullie Public Land includes one of the State's Ecological Reserves, a 6,903-acre area that encompasses the shorelines and waters of 11 ponds.
