About South Branch Lake Camps
Established in 1898 on 1800' of pristine, spring-fed shoreline, south branch lake camps is the second oldest running sporting camp in maine, once host to sports legends Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Bobby Orr and B.A.S.S. legend Jerry Mckinnis.
south branch lake is one of the healthiest fisheries in maine, with some of the largest smallmouth and largemouth bass populations thanks to our practice of "catch and release"
