Libby Outpost Camps Libby Outposts are historic remote lakeside or riverfront log cabins located throughout the North Maine Woods. Each cabin has the feeling of being the only camp in the wilds. Starting in the 1890s, the Libby Family used many of these cabins to access their main lodges on the headwaters of the Allagash and Aroostook Rivers, when the only access was only by trail or stream. Today, logging roads and seaplanes make access much easier. Cabins are located in WMD Zone 5, in the heart of the best hunting and fishing territory Maine has to offer. All cabins are miles apart and within the NMW gate system. Check out the website www.libbyoutposts.com or Libby Outpost Facebook page for all pictures, cabin information and
rates (from $32/person + up). Cabins come equipped with propane lights, stoves, fridges, kitchens and beds, and are ready to call your own.
