Quad County Locks, Springfield, Pine Tree Store, Grand Lakes Steam (GLS)

The Pine Tree Store was built in the 1940’s and has continued as a small general store. Great Deli counter and gas on site.

The value of the salmon in the area was recognized early on. In 1868, Commissioners of Fisheries in Maine and Massachusetts collected eggs and matured them in a spring in the woods. In 1871, they built a rough log building over the spring. A report from 1877 states 2,159,000 eggs obtained. 470,000 were hatched for Grand Lake. The rest shipped out.

This was the beginning of the hatchery.

The area was known and still is known for its salmon fishing as well as excellent bass fishing, bird hunting and family oriented vacations.

Parking at the Quad County Snowmobile club, South on 105.
