Lynchtown Township, ME 04970(Oxford County)

Nestled between the flowing waters of the Magalloway River to the north, and Aziscohos Lake to the south, lies Parmachenee Lake. Parmachenee is charming, remote, rich with history, steeped in tradition, and worthy of novels and fame. Located behind gates, Parmachenee is a wilderness lover's paradise, boasting a world class fishery. The pristine watershed of the Upper Magalloway River and Parmachenee Lake is home to a storied fishery. Possibly the most famous angler to cast a line was "Ike", as President Dwight D. Eisenhower spent time here casting his line and partaking in the sense of wonder that Parmachenee instills. Due to its healthy and self-sustaining population of eastern brook trout, Parmachenee Lake and other local waters have been designated as State Heritage Fish Waters, and are fly fishing only with strict bag limits. These 'squaretails' are gorgeous fish with deep colors, and it is not uncommon to hook fish well over two pounds. Landlocked salmon also inhabit these waters, and may treat you to spectacular aerobatics when they take your fly!Many hunting opportunities also await the sporting enthusiast. Follow in the north woods tradition and hire a Registered Maine Guide from nearby Bosebuck Mountain Camps to stalk deer, bear, and even a prized moose if you're lucky. Spend your days over dogs hunting ruffed grouse and woodcock, creating memories with friends and bonding with loved ones. Imagine the opportunity to watch native trout rise and roll with the spring hatch at sunrise, or listen as the loons call back and forth at sunset, the quintessential sound of an evening spent on a Maine lake. The forest immediately surrounding the lake has grown mature with red spruce and pine, displaying characteristics of an old growth community. The remainder of the 30,000 acres located behind the gates are managed as sustainable timberland investments. This management provides for a diverse environmental mosaic ensuring various habitats preferred by moose, black bear, whitetail deer, beaver, porcupine, and snowshoe hare. The habitat diversity produces ample birding opportunities, with areas accessible by foot or vehicle. Bring your binoculars and listen for species such as ruffed grouse, wild turkeys, bald eagles, ospreys, warblers, woodpeckers, and loons. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history and lore, to build your dream Maine waterfront camp on the shores of this pristine 912 acre lake.
