This property was originally the site of the Icehouse of the Poland Spring Hotels. Many of the hotel's activities happened on the lake, including dog races, swimming and more.

The property was owned for many years by the Hales Family. They had cabins, with access to the lake. It then became campground and then later a restaurant.

The boathouse is where you can rent a boat and arrange for dock space. Their rental fleet includes canoes, kayaks, paddle boats, and small fishing boats with motors. They have fishing equipment, and other items for rent or for sale.

This boathouse also has a casual full service dining restaurant for you to enjoy a meal after your fun aquatic activity!

This is a bit of heaven!

Family owned microbrewery right off route 26 in Norway, Maine. They have a welcoming family friendly taproom open year-round, as well as a spacious beer garden during the warmer months. (thank God for summer weddings) Norway Brewery brews their our own beer and their food is hand-made and tailored to suit the season. Their goal is to use as many locally sourced ingredients as possible; they have reached out to fruit and vegetable growers, livestock and dairy farmers, as well as local grain and hops growers to create a network of producers who supply their chefs and brewers with raw ingredients grown right here in Maine. They also have blueberry filled donuts......

Cheers!
