Great Mountain Guide Service

05/15/2025

In addition to the excellent and fun eateries along the Katahdin Woods & Waters National Scenic Byway, our incredible local outdoor guides make some of our most memorable meals! Not only are they skilled adventurers—they are also amazing cooks who know how to turn a campfire into a five-star kitchen. Whether a hearty breakfast before a hike or a fireside feast after a paddle, these guides serve flavor, hospitality, and stories you’ll never forget. Featured here is Great Mountain Guide Service of Medway, Maine.

We always love to hike The Hunt Trail on Katahdin in Baxter State Park. If you have never seen Katahdin Stream Falls in person you need to! The falls are only 1.1 miles from the Katahdin Stream Campground. This past Saturday the weather was perfect for hiking, cool temps and hardly any wind!! ❤️🏔️
