Forest Activities
Gravel Roads
For updates regarding temporary road closures and re-openings, please call (207) 796-2100, or visit this website under Roads Update. Thank you for helping DLLT improve safe driving conditions on forest roads throughout the year.
McLellan Cove Harvest
The area east of McLellan Cove will be harvested by Gardner using cut to length equipment beginning later in August. The harvest has three prescriptions depending on the stocking of large and small trees. Well wooded stands will be commercially thinned. Stands with healthy tolerant trees of all sizes to leave will be more completely harvested. In stands with many pole size trees, the overstory of mature trees will be removed. Some of the acres within the harvest area are not stocked well enough to be harvested and will be left untouched.
Fourth Lake Road Improvements
Beginning in summer of 2026, DLLT is finishing up improvements to the Fourth Lake Road, beginning at approximately mile 1.5 to mile 3.5. Be sure to watch for equipment working in the road as we continue to improve access in the Downeast Lakes Community Forest.
