Property can also be used in the winter for snowmobiling and ice fishing. Maidstone is a 796 acre glacial formed lake that offers trout fishing and loon watching. There are also 3 hiking trails to explore the lake & forest that start at the campground area. If you are ready for a lake property, make sure this one makes your "must see" list.
