Here are a couple of maps that will have to do till I find better
ones. These maps with these driving instructions will get you here . Keep in mind that the road I live on used to be Back
Parkman Rd.& Crow Hill Road & Perkins Road - it is now Monument Road . DO NOT USE MAPQUEST or Yahoo , they have no idea where Abbot (ABBOT VILLAGE ) is !
The
vehicle access to the camp is only through my back yard. (I suggest that while you here in Maine you purchase The Maine Atlas
and Gazetteer, shown below, it is probably the best all around map of Maine ... but I have one at the camp you can use )
The camp itself is located on the map page 31 at about 1-8 of an inch north-east and the opposite side of the stream as the
entrance of Lowell Brook into Kingsbury Stream.
... Coming from southern Maine, I suggest you go to Newport, Maine,
at mile 157 and is now EXIT 157 (, used to be exit # 39 .) after going onto the
offramp, go left towards NEWPORT then route 7-11 towards Dexter. (7
& 11 will split in Corinia) , STAY ON Route 7 In Dexter take a left about 600
feet past the only traffic light onto route 23 to (through) Sangerville, THAT SECTION IS ABOUT 12
MILES
At the END of route 23, on the futher side of
Sangerville, (just across the new bridge ) take a left towards Guilford and Greenville. Once in Guilford cross
another bridge , take the sharp right turn to Abbot
Route 6 -15- 16
will be headed towards Abbot (3 . 6 miles ) .
6 -15- 16 is one road) through Guilford to Abbot. ,,,,. Take a left onto
the Monument Rd. ( this will be before you cross a cement bridge ) Abbot is 32 miles from Newport.
and 49 miles from Bangor .....
from the Bangor area (specifically the airport ) exit the airport (BGR ) take the first left , you will be on route
222 or Union Street , go about 1/2 mile, take a right onto Griffin Road it then becomes Strickland Road at a intersection
, go strait ahead ( about 2 miles ) till you get to route 15, take a left on to Route 15
for about 45 miles, .... ( You will pass through DOVER-FOXCROFT ) .... this will get you to the
Guilford , Abbot area !!!!!! You will come to Guilford, take route 15 on the Right
side of the Mobil Gas station (immediately after a bridge) ( note
.. MOBIL, not TEXACO )to Abbot,, routes 6-15-16 will be headed towards Abbot
(3 . 6 miles ) and Greenville futheraway..
6 -15- 16 is one road) through Guilford to Abbot. ,,,,. Take a left onto the
Monument Rd. ( this will be before you cross a cement bridge ) ... Or FROM SKOWHEGAN =take route 150 to Guilford, then 1st left
at gas station, ( Mobil ) then about 4 miles to Abbot, and take a left at the monument.
... Coming
from Greenville,go through "downtown" Abbot, cross the cement bridge, take a right onto Monument Rd., go .8 (eight-tenths)
mile to mailbox 41. Please stop at my house before your first trip up to the camp , I don't allow people just driving around
... The most common error, following these instructions, is that people like to take Route 16 once they get to Abbot.
(wrong road)
...Once you arrive at my house, Mailbox # 41, it is .8th of a mile from the monument. (It
is white, on your right, and 120 feet long) Please stop at my house to introduce yourself..... And let us know if you are
expecting any other vehicles to drive to the camp . This is important so I don't have to chase them down , I want you to have
an interrupted stay . Should you need it my Ph. # is 207 876 2639 (Please dont call after 8 PM EST)
The closest airport is Bangor (BGR )

People in Maine commonly buy a new Atlas every year, because they know it will show road and bridge washouts, new
logging roads and other types of up-to-date information. The Maine Atlas and Gazetteer by Delorme sets the standard for all
of our atlases in terms of backroad and backcountry detail. In addition, it pinpoints the locations of features like State
Parks, waterfalls,Senic Areas, hiking trails, ranger stations, forest gatehouses, lookout towers, lean-tos and
seaplane bases. It also contains street maps for 23 cities and towns. The scale is 1:125,000 (1" to 2 miles) WITH THIS MAP
