(September 2007) Baker Brook Campsite was improved by Waterway Work Trip volunteers in September, 2007. A picnic table, fire ring, and self-composting toilet were added. Look for it in the pines on a point of land on the left once you’ve entered Baker Brook from Moosehead Lake (north of Rockwood).

(June 2008) Northwest Carry alternative route: paddle up Carry Brook to the snowmobile bridge, then portage on the snowmobile trail to the Seboomook Rd, then down a camp road to Seboomook Lake. The State of Maine recently acquired this land and intends to make improvements to this portage route with signs and a campsite on the Seboomook end of the trail.

(June 2013) The trail from Boom House to Chesuncook Village has been disrupted by logging operations.  Detour down the main logging road that bisects the trail, and take the first left to the village.
