 Please plan for your camper to arrive on Opening Day (the first day of the enrollment session) and to
depart on Closing Day (the last day of the enrollment session).
Because our Base Camp is located deep in the wilderness, getting to and from Darrow requires special transportation arrangements beyond the reach of scheduled commercial transportation services. For this reason, it is important to make plans well in advance, to coordinate closely with us, and to stick to your plans once they are made.
Driving to Grand Lake Stream
- Allow 2 hrs 45 min driving time from Bangor to GLS
- Take Interstate 95 north past Bangor, ME to Exit 227 for Lincoln, ME. It is wise to fill up
here as there are comparatively few gas stations east of I-95.
- From Exit 227 follow Route 6 east to Topsfield, ME.
- Turn South (right) onto US route 1. Go about 15 miles.
- Take a right turn onto the Grand Lake Stream Road. Follow 10 miles through the woods. This takes you right into town.
- In town look for the Pine Tree Store on your left. Bear slightly right past the store and hatchery and follow the road across the bridge. Take the first right onto Shaw St. and follow to the end, where you will see several boathouses. The Darrow dock is the last one on the right, next to the white boathouse with green trim. You can unload here. There is public parking and a public outhouse available back up the road (now on the left) in the parking lot near the dam. If you have any questions, just ask at the Pine Tree Store.
- The Darrow Camp boat will meet you at the dock.
- Opening Days -- The Boat will pick-up campers (and parents) at approximately 9am, 11 am and
1 pm.
- Closing Days -- The Boat will drop-off at roughly 11 am and 1 pm.
- Parents who wish to visit Camp are invited to join us for lunch on Opening and Closing days.
- A list of overnight accommodations in Grand Lake Stream will be mailed to enrolled campers.
Commercial Airline to/from Bangor
- Plan for your camper to arrive in Bangor International Airport before 3 pm on Opening Day, and/or to depart from Bangor after 12 pm on Closing Day
- The airport is small, and campers will be met by a Darrow van.
Bangor, ME to/from Camp
Darrow Van
- On Opening and Closing Days, a Darrow van runs between the Bangor, ME airport and Grand Lake Stream. The Darrow van driver will carry a cell phone and will be in contact with our office.
- The charge is $100 each way. Darrow Camp will bill your incidental account.
