Nahmakanta Lake and Nesuntabunt Mountain

As you get near the end of your Appalachian Trail journey, the trail skirts a few very large lakes. Nahmakanta Lake has a campground but campers are a bit rare during the week due to the access being behind locked gates that require a permit.

When I arrived in the evening, the lighting was amazing; I was excited to be out of the trees. There was a couple bringing a canoe out of the water. They had camped the night before and had not seen anyone. As we talked, they were genuinely interested in my hike and I was very interested in their profession. They owned a maple tree farm and made maple syrup. Being a tree farmer myself for several years, I had lots of questions. They even gave me a gift, some of their syrup, and it was delicious. After they left, I pitched my camp right on the one and only shoreline campsite. Rain was expected to roll in during the night and sure enough, I awoke to some bad weather rolling in. So, no views on Nesuntabunt Mountain, although the views from the mountain are pretty limited anyway.
