Returning to Forest Lake

Guest season is upon us here at QC and we are ready! The cabins are newly painted and shored up, the boats are on the lake, and the flowers are in bloom. As usual, we have a loon chick on the lake, in addition to the nesting pair – here you can see Mom, Dad, and young one swimming by the inlet to Forest Lake.

Our early season guests seem to appreciate internet connectivity and there’s the new site of laptops in the main lodge – truly a meeting of old and new. On recent rainy days, it’s been nice to look to the satellite for a glimpse of when the sun might actually make it’s appearance—should be invaluable for accurately predicting cookouts!

When anyone asks about Averill in early July, two things are true. First, the black flies are leaving, and second, the fishing is great – fantastic hexagenia hatch on both Forest and Big Averill and guests have reported good luck over in the Connecticut River valley as well. Keep in mind that QC is a perfect location for fishing locally, with the Androscoggin, the Clyde, the Connecticut, the Nulhegan; and many more ponds and streams too numerous to mention, all within an hour’s drive.
