Rangeley Lakes is a canoeing trip that Senior Campers go on. The trip goes across multiple lakes but does not include the actual Rangeley Lake; the name comes from the fact that it is in the Rangeley Lakes Region.
The trip begins in Cupsuptic Lake which soon merges into Mooselookmeguntic Lake (Mooselookmeguntic is the Abenaki word for moose feeding place). The trip paddles to the other side of this lake all the way to the Upper Dam by the second day. The Upper Dam separates Mooselookmeguntic lake from Upper Richardson Lake. A short portage around the dam takes the trip into their third lake with Cranberry Cove a short paddle away. Cranberry Cove is known for its wild cranberries and plentiful wildlife including maybe a moose. The rest of the trip consists of canoeing all the way down to the end of Lower Richardson Lake. The entire trip is four days and three nights and more than thirty miles long.
Rangeley Lakes is infamous for something always going wrong. It is also well know for the Spaulding Cove incident in which a disoriented person confronted the Trip Leader saying, "This is Spaulding Cove... What are you looking for?"
