Located at the confluence of Lobster Stream and the West Branch Penobscot River in Northeast Carry Township, this boat ramp provides access to paddling and boating opportunities in Maine's North Woods. To reach the launch, travel 15.3 miles on the Golden Road, then turn left onto Poulin Road and continue 3.4 miles to the parking area and ramp. The facility includes a parking lot and boat launch infrastructure for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats.
This is a remote access point in the Appalachian Mountains region, so plan accordingly with supplies and trip logistics. The confluence location offers paddlers access to both Lobster Stream and the West Branch Penobscot River. Before launching, check current water conditions and difficulty levels for your intended paddling route, as remote northern Maine rivers can vary seasonally. This area is best suited for paddlers with experience in wilderness settings and self-sufficient trip planning.
