Leen's Lodge

Grand Lake Stream, Maine

The fabled North Woods of Maine are home to not only whitetail deer, moose and black bears, but also the the endless stands of mixed growth and long alder runs that harbor excellent populations of ruffed grouse and woodcock. Following pointing dogs through secret coverts on crisp October days feels like real hunting, and it is a tradition that goes back more than 100 years in the tiny village of Grand Lake Stream. Leen’s Lodge sits at the heart of it all, offering full-service upland hunts from its scenic base on the shore of West Grand Lake.
