    I take a number of trips to Rideouts each year and I just saw the two negative reviews and feel…read morecompelled to respond. This place is a hidden gem. Stan and Patti work tirelessly to ensure everyone has a great experience whether it is a group fishing or a young family vacationing. They respond quickly to everyone's needs and concerns. The place is spotless and well maintained. I was witness to several incidents that the previous negative reviewer inaccurately described and also the damage he or his family left. They were asked to leave and the people there, including me, were glad they did. Stan and Patti have big hearts and long fuses but when people act in a manner that impacts their livelihood, property, or the experience of other vacationers, after a few warnings you are asked to leave. It is why I keep coming back and year after year and the experience keeps getting better and better. It is a hidden gem but only for those who are respectful of others. I'm heading back again in a few weeks and would recommend it to anyone.

And "I don't think you can get there from here" was heard by another. There's no quick way to Leen's Lodge. Ok, there is a floatplane that gets you there quickly from Bangor. But you have to get yourself to Bangor, first. Driving it's two hours from the airport. But it is worth every bit of effort to get there. Leen's Lodge is a gem on the edge pristine clear waters of West Grand Lake in the heart of the northern Maine wilderness. The lodging is rustic - it is cabins on the lake. But they are clean, quaint, and comfortable. The service and food are top-notch. The proprietors, Scott and Kris Weeks, and family, along with a few extra staff provide an experience you won't ever forget. Dinner - 5 stars. The first night I had the most amazing, perfectly seasoned, tender lamb chops with freshly baked homemade bread, wild rice, asparagus, and dessert was local blueberry pie. Other entrees included maple glazed salmon, filet mignon, and fresh Maine lobster. Breakfast - You cannot beat it. Blueberry pancakes with local maple syrup and thickly sliced bacon. My morning order "Wendy, make whatever looks good today." I was never disappointed. But you are not just coming here for the food. It's an epic outdoor experience - the quality of hunting and fishing is among the best in the world. We fished and caught as many big perch as we wanted, plenty of smallmouth bass, and even some land-locked salmon. (I won't mention that my fishing buddy hooked an eel - that did not get in the boat.) All of this with epic views while bald eagles and osprey soar overhead. The fishing guides are amazing and make the experience suitable for anyone - whether you are an accomplished angler or you've never even baited a hook, you'll find what you're looking for here. I understand the hunting is even better. When you're there, don't forget to look up at the night sky. I don't think I have ever seen the stars so bright. I am counting the days until I can return to Leen's Lodge.

    Absolutely the best way to get out on the water from Eastport! I was lucky enough to go out on a…read moreperfect summer day--sunny, with a nice summery breeze--and there were enough of us to need two boats for the 1:30pm tour. You can pack in a good-sized crowd, but it's not a gigantic boat and you'll be making friends with nearby seatmates and chatting up the crew in no time. Once you're out of the harbor area you'll cruise out toward Campobello Island, as well as a lot of smaller ones dotting the bay--and you're pretty much in Canadian waterways the whole time. We saw minke whales, porpoises, seals, and bald eagles. The lighthouse view of the East Quoddy Head Light is gorgeous, and once you round that tip of the island the much cooler air from the Bay of Fundy wafts in and drops the temperature. Be sure to bring a jacket or sweatshirt along with your sunscreen and water! Our crew also pulled up a lobster trap on the return part of the trip and it was fun getting a look at harvesting in action. And the crew members have lots of info and stories about the area, so just ask! Great way to spend the afternoon.

    We saw pretty much all the animals, landmarks and sea phenomenons the captains said we would. They…read morewere informative and it was a cool experience. Wouldn't recommend it for young kids (like our 5 year old) since it's a 2-2.5 hour voyage.
