LifeFlight of Maine now has a new recognized site at the south end of Nicatous Lake. This is great news for those of us with camps on that part of the lake and for those that atv, fish, hunt or snowmobile out that way. The site is located on the road across from the “Red Rock” on the 32-00-0 road (NOT on the gated side), less than a quarter of a mile down. 
If you have an emergency while in the area, CALL 911 and give them the Lifeflight “rendezvous point” which is the large letters & numbers in the middle of the sign. They are: HK-RP-003.
This will be a four-season site. The site will be maintained by the Nicatous Camp Owners Association and in the winter the state of Maine Off-road Vehicle Division has agreed to groom from the 37-00-0 road back to the site so that a helicopter could land in the area.
Hopefully, no one will ever need this site but it is very reassuring to know that it is out there so close to approximately 50 camps plus all the other folks that use our area.
For the camp owners out there – if you have a few minutes, check to see if any trimming is needed on the sides of the road around the site. Also pick up any of the slash that is in the area or on the road and get it back far enough so that the rotor wash doesn’t blow it around. If all of us take just a bit of time, we can keep this site cleared for any emergency that might arise.
Jim and Linda V. had the great idea to see if a Medivac site was possible. Thanks to Jim & Linda V. and Steve B. for all the work they did to get it done. Thanks, too, to JR of Lifeflight of Maine for his assistance, AFM for giving us permission to have the site on their property, and also to Scott R. and Joe H. from the state of Maine, Off-Road Vehicle Division, for the extra grooming that will be done in the winter.
