The organization was confirmed by the Maine legislature in 1895. Located about 25 miles south of Fort Kent on Maine Route 11, the area is an attraction for fishermen and hunters. THe 2,400-acre, 100-feet deep St. Froid Lake dominates the plantation by running virtually its whole length from north to south. St. Froid Lake supports a sport fishery of statewide significance for salmon, lake trout, and brook trout. Of local significance, a popular hook-and-line smelt fishery exists both winter and summer.&#8221; There were 196 residents at the time of the 2000 census.<\/p>\n<h4>Activities<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mainetrailfinder.com\/trails\/trail\/hedgehog-mountain-trail-winterville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Hedgehog Mountain Trail<\/strong><\/a> <em>ME-11, Eagle Lake, ME 04739<\/em><\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>This short but steep trail provides a great workout on a path that goes by an old hunting cabin.
