 Dear Friends,
Welcome to Rideout’s! You have just discovered the ideal source for outstanding Maine fishing
and delightful vacations. Rideout's Lakeside Lodge is an authentic, family-operated
Maine fishing lodge
located on East Grand Lake near the Canada border. We've been nationally recognized for our exceptional fishing for smallmouth bass
,
landlocked salmon
and lake trout
.
We are also known as “the Sporting Camp for family fun” because of our clean, comfortable
Maine cabin rentals, and our emphasis on other outdoor recreation such as
boating and
wildlife viewing.
Whether you’re looking for an authentic Maine fishing lodge with rustic rental cabins, or an affordable, outdoor
family vacation, you'll experience the best of the Maine North Woods here at Rideout's on East Grand Lake.
 East Grand Lake Offers the Best Maine Bass & Salmon Fishing
Crystal-clear, 22-mile-long East Grand Lake, one of the largest unspoiled lakes in Maine, lies nestled in the beautiful forests of the Maine North Woods. This pristine natural setting helps our fish grow and flourish. In recent years, anglers have caught trophy-sized landlocked salmon (over 8 pounds!) in
East Grand Lake, and a recent national magazine confirmed that “you can catch 100 smallmouth bass a day” here under ideal conditions. We also have excellent lake trout fishing.
Over the years, Rideout’s has been featured in several national magazines, including Field and Stream and North American Fisherman, which have praised us for our quality Maine fishing and comfortable cabin accommodations. So if you're looking for a great fishing vacation at a
traditional Maine fishing lodge, Rideout's is your destination.
 Rideout's
Rental Cabins
We know how important comfortable accommodations are for vacation pleasure. Rideout's features 20 clean, fully equipped, knotty-pine
Maine cabin rentals
. Our spacious cabins are situated on wooded lots with pleasing views of East Grand Lake. All cabins have electricity, automatic heat, full bath with shower or tub and flush toilets. Beds are firm and comfortable, and most are doubles. Most cabins have large, screened porches and sleep up to six. For your convenience, we offer several different lodging plans to suit every taste and budget, including our Housekeeping Plan (cabin rentals with kitchens) and our
American Plan (full-service meals-and-lodging packages).
Our Guests Return - Year After Year
Since 1947, we have worked hard to maintain an atmosphere that combines warm friendliness and relaxation, in a Maine fishing lodge environment. We are proud and honored that many Rideout's guests have returned year after year -- some for several generations! And, our new guests often remark that we make them feel "like family." This is due in large part to our friendly staff, who have a long history of providing superior customer service. Together with our reasonable rates and flexible vacation packages, this focus on our guests' comfort makes Rideout's stand out as a truly unique Maine fishing vacation experience.

East Grand Lake Fishing Conditions
Update as of 8/7/07: Although the bass fishing has slowed somewhat due
to the warm weather, bass fishermen are still catching big bass off
the major points and islands from 10-30 feet down with Senkos, tube baits,
crank baits and live bait with some fish reportedly over 4 pounds. Other bass fishermen are
casting Mepps brown "buck tail" spinners into the rocks or trolling shallow
diving crank baits along the shoreline with good results. Our bass
guides have also been fishing small neighboring shallow water lakes with great success, catching
over 50 bass per day (with equal numbers of chain pickerel) on the Baskahegan river and good numbers of bass at Hot Brook Lake. An
unusually large number of salmon have been caught this summer with some
experienced fishermen catching up to 25 salmon per day from 25 to 45 feet
down in the Whitehorse Reef and Shipwreck Point areas. The lures of
choice include the orange and copper Speedy Shiner and the single hook Woods
Special with "00" Jensen Dodger. Today two experienced Lake Trout
fishermen also caught 3 togue between 3 and 12 pounds in the Greenland cove
area in deep water. As
always, some nice brook trout are routinely being taken in the back of Dark
Cove.

vacation experience.
