Bridgton, Maine · guided ice fishing · fantasy showroom

Dawn on the hardwater. Tip-ups set. Lodge warm when you return.

Guided ice days on Maine lakes — flags, shanty glow, catch on the ice, then firelight and a quiet meal.

Book a day Walk the ice

01 · Dawn

First light finds the lake already waiting.

Augers turn. Tip-ups go down. Your guide reads the ice the way a local reads a familiar shore.

02 · Tip-ups & shanty

Flags up. Shanty lit. The day settles in.

Warm shelter when the wind rises. Quiet watching when the flags stay still — and a quick walk when one kicks.

03 · Lodge return

Off the ice. Into the glow.

Catch on the ice, stories on the way back, then the lodge fire — so the cold day ends warm.

On the ice

Shore to tip-up — one line.

A single path draws as you scroll: shoreline, shanty glow, then the hole that speaks.

Shore Shanty Tip-up

Hardwater day

Dawn. Tip-ups. Catch. Lodge.

Four beats of a guided ice day — Bridgton lake energy, told the way it feels when the hardwater holds and the shanty window throws a little gold.

Sunrise light pouring across textured frozen lake ice.

01 · Frozen lake dawn

The ice wakes gold before the town does.

Hardwater underfoot. Quiet breath in cold air. The day begins where the lake is thickest.

Wooden ice fishing shanty glowing in golden hour light on a frozen lake.

02 · Tip-ups & shanty glow

Shelter when you need it. Flags when the lake speaks.

A warm box on the ice. Tip-ups watching the holes. The kind of quiet that only hardwater knows.

Freshly caught fish on the ice beside a drilled fishing hole at golden hour.

03 · Catch on the ice

The hole gives. The ice keeps the story.

A clean fight, a silver flash, and a moment you can still feel in your hands on the ride home.

Snow-covered lakeside lodge with warm wood and winter pines.

04 · Warm lodge return

Boots by the door. Fire already working.

Open-water season has its own beauty — but winter is why we built this lodge. Come in. Stay warm.
