DO NOT EAT FISH OR SWIM IN THE PENOBSCOT! THERE WAS A PAPER MILL SPILL NOT LONG AGO AND THE MERCURY LEVELS ARE LETHAL! Maine is BEAUTIFUL but LETHAL. there's a reason our cancer rates are the HIGHEST in the NATION!

Just came back from spending 3 days at the Penobscot River Cabins and if you want to spend a few days fishing and just enjoying the outdoors then this is the place for you. Just to be clear the cabins are right off the river and what I would call rustic. Rustic not in a bad way, just be prepared this is not the Ritz, think of it as camping with an inside the house restroom, kitchen and single beds.
They used to have food onsite but now it's every man for himself. There's a supermarket in town as well as a few restaurants close by.
The small mouth Bass fishing is excellent and you will see Bald Eagles everywhere!! You can rent a boat or bring up a Kayak or small boat.
The owner Jeff is a great guy and will do just about anything to make your stay comfortable.
I had a great time up there and plan to get up there again, ENJOY

Penobscot River Cabins
This is my first review I have ever posted. I travel quite a bit but have not yet felt the need to post a review until now. I hope you have time to read all this, but if not I will summarize. “This place is fantastic”.
A great location on the Penobscot River near the towns of Howland and Lincoln. Is close to several boat ramps on the Penobscot as well as several famous fishing lakes with close proximity to the Coastal Maine tourist areas. The compound is on a very nice level lot directly on the river. There is no need to walk long distances or up and down hill to get to dinner or boats or anything, just walk out your door and fish, eat, read, relax and enjoy.
Our very clean cabin was is well equipped with a refrigerator, stove, coffee maker (both drip and old perk style that was fun) and Gas Grills if you want one as well as all the pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils and everything you might need. Blankets, linens pillows and towels are also provided. All you need to pack is some clean underwear and a fishing rod. (A book and a good box of wine might also be a good choice) OK also add some shampoo and a bar of soap and a toothbrush if you want to have everything.
We stayed in cabin #3, that I think is the same as most other cabins. While there was not much for rooms in the cabin it had everything you need and more. The main room is the open kitchen area with a kitchen table and chairs. A very nice reasonable size bathroom with shower and sink. A back room with two bunk beds (limited storage or closet space). Up a narrow stair/ladder to three more beds upstairs. There is no living room or sitting room but that is more than made up for by the beautiful screened in porch facing the river. If you are not sleeping, cooking or showering there is no reason to be in the cabin when you can be enjoying the porch or sitting outside on the folding chairs provided with the cabin.
There are fire pits at every cabin that I never took the opportunity to use. For me getting up with sun and going to bed with the sunset was plenty for me. There are a couple of great swinging benches to sit and read a book from located right on the river, or just sit back and watch the river flow. From the cabin we saw some deer across the river and watched an eagle fly bay looking for his lunch. I was told by a few guests that the Eagles followed them up and down the river as thy fished and then dived within a few feet of them to catch fish they had just released.
Fishing - The water is a stained color so most guest were using white plastics or red and white top water baits. Some others swore by brown black or blue We had our best luck with green and white senko wacky worms, but we were not as successful as most of the guests. Every guest was reporting thirty, forty or fifty or more brozeback smallmouth bass per day. I was not as lucky or skilled, the fish were there, I just did not find the right combination.
Boat docks can be used if you call in advance for availability. I brought my own boat, a seventeen foot aluminum hull bow rider with a fifty horse outboard, and was glad to come home with the same propeller I started with. I would not bring a fiberglass hull or any boat I did not want to put a ding in.
When I first saw the boat ramp at the camp I said “You put your boat in there???” it looked like a steep hill on the side of the river. You will want 4WD but the launch actually is quite easy to use, it just looks scary. Jeff will gladly help launch you boat for you if it looks like too much for you. I pulled mine in and out a few times to try fishing another part of the river without any issues.
Whenever I went to my boat Peter, a young man that spends his summer at the camp, continued to show the level of helpfulness everyone at the camp makes evident. He was always there to help catch a bow line or give a push off the dock or carry a cooler for us.
I found the average water depth is around five feet. I seldom found areas deeper than eight feet. You can be cruising along at any depth and just a few inches below the surface you will find a rock the size of a small truck, or worse yet a smaller hidden rock right at propeller depth. Do not ever go on plane… Go slow and watch for and ripples, color change or anything out of the ordinary. You will hit a rock if you are not extremely careful on this river. It is full of fish but it can come at a price
Looking back on it my advice is rent one of their boats, they are the correct size and type of boat. A fourteen or so foot with under ten horse power outboard as well as a small trolling motor fully equipped. Regardless of what boat you use, they will bring you and your boat up river and/or drop your vehicle/trailer at another section of the river or one of the close by lakes for no charge. That is unheard of service as far as I am concerned.
This camp is a pet friendly camp to say the least, they have dogs, cats and a bird and maybe some pets I did not meet. Other guest had pets with them as well, but call before you bring yours just in case. I will tell you that I am not a dog lover type of person, my idea of a good pet is one I can visit and not have to take care of. This was the case here, the dogs were some of the best behaved I have been around. They came by to visit a few times a day but when told to sit or lay down, that is what they did.
The other guest ranged in ages form twenty somethings to couples to multi-generational families. Everyone was welcoming and obviously enjoying themselves. I did see several different groups swimming from the rocks, shore and docks. I would strongly suggest the no one swim alone and that everyone knows how to swim. The river current is very strong and while inviting the river should be respected.
Electricity is provided by a generator and is generally turned off around 9 or 10 am and turned back on around supper time then back off around 11 PM or so. I was not aware of this on arrival and panicked when I first heard this. My angst was unfounded. Marry and Jeff let me know if I needed electricity at some other time to just let them know. After settling in I realized I did not need electricity even that much of the time. It was a non-issue. There was plenty of time to charge phones, kindles and iPads as well as boat trolling batteries.
I was at a fishing camp in the middle of Maine so I did not have great expectations for my technology needs (OK they are not needs, but I do like my web access). To my surprise I had a good strong signal on my Verizon phone and IPad. I was told that other cellular providers may not connect as well. This also proved not to be a non-issue because they have setup an outstanding Wi-Fi network that covers the entire campus form the cabins to the boat docks and more.
If you decide not to get the meal plan you are missing out on the best aspect of this camp. Excellent meals with everything you could want. Breakfast is always a full hot breakfast with all the extras. Box lunches with your choice of a wide verity of sandwiches and snacks come in a cooler with waters and ice packs for you to take with you for the day. Dinner is always a hearty comfort food that will not leave you wanting for anything more. I am not even going to talk about the nightly homemade desserts, you will just have to go there to experience them.
Having all your meals prepared for you frees up so much time that every day is a long relaxing day away from home. Unlike some places that have rigid meal schedules Mary repeatedly offered to adjust mealtimes for individual guests or groups to fit their different daily plans but most often everyone agreed on a mutually convenient times so as not to miss out on the comradery and fishing stories of the day.
The best feature of this stay was the hospitality and willingness of Mary, Jeff and Peter to accommodate and anticipate anything you might need to enjoy your stay.

Our stay on the Penobscot River was at Penobscot River Cabins in Howland, Maine. Mary and Jeff are the owners, and provide outstanding lodging at their first class cabins. This was our second visit to the cabins, and again we were extremely satisfied with the accommodations, and the rental boats provided for fishing the river. Jeff does not charge an extra fee to trailer you ten plus miles up the river with your, (or their), boat on a trailer to drop you off at the best fishing up river. You can then spend the rest of the day floating and fishing back to the cabins in the afternoon returning for supper. Expect to catch 80-100 Smallmouth Bass on the river! Penobscot River Cabins have the best nightly and weekly rates for a cabin rental in the area, and offer meals at an additional price. Jeff and Mary go "above and beyond" to make sure your stay is unforgetable. You will not be disappointed!!!

This was the best rafting trip I've ever been on. A group of 7 friends and myself went up there this weekend through the Penobscot Outdoor Center, and our tourguide was James. James was incredible - he fit right in with us, was extremely knowledgable about the river and I think helped to make us all feel safe, even when a friend got sucked out of the raft, and when all but one of us fell out!
I would highly recommend this trip if you are looking for an adventure. Be prepared to eat some river water though, and remember to dress warm (no cotton!!!), because the water up there can be chilly!
The Outdoor Center was nice, with large camp sites and clean camping amenities. All 8 of us fit comfortably on 2 camp sites. There's also a bar there which is always appreciated if you're looking for some local brews, and want to escape the mosquitos for a little while. I think it's safe to say that we all plan to go back, and will ask James to be our river guide again - what a fun trip!

I am in the Boothbay Harbor area in the summer but I love to take my kayak to explore rivers and ponds for bass fishing. Are these cabins still in operation? Looking for a place to stay--very comfortable with rustic--would probably paddle upstream and float down unless someone could take me upstream and let me float down to the cabins.
