First Edition (2005) Updates
· Lower Dam was removed from the Rapid River, but it is still necessary to
portage. The portage route remains the same. Picnic table and small informational
kiosk installed by Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust at the Lower Dam landing.
· Teepee Campground is no longer operational (on Magalloway River just
upstream from Umbagog Lake). Campground property purchased by U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service.

Second Edition (2012) Updates
• If you would like to reduce the amount of portaging required to get around the
Rapid River, you can enter Pond in the River, removing about a mile of portage.
• Our friends at the Maine Forestry Museum (formerly the Rangeley Lakes
Regional Logging Museum) have allowed the NFCT to build a lean-to on their
property. NFCT paddlers are also allowed to camp by their shelter. A portage we
installed on their property has also reduced the Rangeley to South Branch of the
Dead portage by a mile. For more details about camping opportunities and the
Gull Pond Stream Portage access this Info Sheet.
• The location of the Errol Dam is farther to the north and the Steamer Diamond Boat Launch
farther to the south.
• The location of the Long Pond (Beaver Mtn Lake) access is actually on the
northeast corner of the lake

Third Edition (2019) Updates

  • Camping is no longer allowed on Beaver Island, which is privately owned.
