Along the Path - Spencer Bay Club, Moosehead Lake, Maine A9-C

View of the Spencer Bay Club property, including part of the fishing lodge at the right, with a beckoning view of the lake at the end of the wooded path. Spencer Bay, the location of several sporting camps by the mid-20th century, is a major eastern arm of Moosehead Lake, known for its pristine remotenes, beauty, and recreational appeal - particularly fishing. The image shows cracking, due to emulsion shrinkage on the negative's acetate. A note on the negative sleeve reads: "Original owned by Amory Houghton, Spencer Bay Club, Moosehead Lake, Greenville, Maine Winter address: Belfast, Maine"
