Specialties
The Birches Resort was built in the 1930’s as a hunting and fishing lodge. We’re located on Moosehead Lake in Rockwood, Maine, on a privately owned, 11,000 acre nature preserve. We’re in the heart of Maine’s Great North Woods, the last remaining wilderness in New England.
My family has owned and operated The Birches Resort for over 40 years. In the summer try canoeing, kayaking, hiking and mountain biking. In the winter take to the trails on cross country skis or snow shoes, or explore the area by snowmobile. Search for wildlife on a moose cruise or wilderness safari. Like to fish? Fly fishing and ice fishing are our specialty. Take a dip in the lake, work out in our new fitness center, or just kick back and gaze at the beautiful scenery. All activities originate from the resort; once here, you won’t need your car.
Accommodations vary from cabins on the lake, lodge rooms to large rental homes. Try us for breakfast, lunch or dinner in our dining room overlooking the lake.
I hope you’ll visit us and explore our special part of the world.
History
Established in 1930.
The Birches Resort was built in 1930 by a local logging contractor. He chose one of the best locations on Moosehead Lake, facing east, guaranteeing spectacular sunrises over Mount Kineo.
Today, the resort is family-owned and operated by the Willard family, who bought it in the 1960s. In the 1990s the Willards added an outfitting operation, Wilderness Expeditions, providing guests and visitors to the area with a variety of outdoor activities. White water rafting, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, cross country skiing, sledding and snowshoeing are offered within the resort’s 11,000 acres.
