Difficulty: Easy
Distance to Letterbox: 25 yards

Box is located next to this great lodge. I strongly suggest staying here if you are in the area. Great view of Katahdin over a lake in front of lodge. Breakfast was great, and hosts are helpful. If not staying here, I suggest not parking right in front of their lodge, but off to the right and use your camera as prop like you are taking pictures of mountain. PS - Katahdin is the end of the Appellation trail.

Directions:
From Millinocket, go west on Hwy 11 to turn at sign on right for 5 Lakes Lodge. Turn right and go to lodge (on left) at point, but don't turn into parking at lodge. Park along the gravel road to the right near the circular fire ring area.

To the Letterbox:
Walk to right of fire circle to the rock bank. Go right to evergreen tree, and go around. Continue to next 3 trunk tree. Box is wedged in middle of base of that 3 trunk tree.

Hike length: 0.1 miles
