ME56 - The Birches Resort is located in Rockwood, Maine at about the mid point of Moosehead lake, just to the west of Mt Kineo, which is on an island in the middle of the lake. The Birches Resort was built in the 1930’s as a hunting and fishing lodge. Privately owned and operated by the Willard family for over 40 years, it's an 11,000 acre preserve in the heart of Maine’s Great North Woods, the last remaining wilderness in New England. The current owner, John Willard, is a licensed Maine Master Guide and Commercial Floatplane Pilot. John is well known in the region and offers sight seeing cruises in his 1947 PA-12 Piper Super Cruiser seaplane, N4151M.
I've got to say, I'm absolutely taken by the beauty of the area surround the resort. I hope you are, too, Such a great place to fly with a float plane in the area surrounding the resort.

Important! If you've previously installed my ME22 - Avery Field addon, make sure to download and install the update, or it things might get weird, as I moved some of the foliage fixes out of it into ME56 here.
If you choose to turn on the static planes, the planes in docks 2 and 3 come from

P.S. You won't find ME56 on any FAA charts, but if you're in the area, you'll definitely find seaplanes flying to and fro from this location and parked at the resort.
P.P.S. I've included 3 .BGL files, 1 for each dock parking spot, each of which will show a plane if activated if you'd like some company parked nearby. Just swap out the Layout.json with Layout.txt, and delete the section for the parking spot you'll be using.
And, yeah, I kind of went nuts on this one since I got some great pictures from the real thing for ideas... so the list of libraries I used is long. The usuals, but, I just added a few more I'd left off, so check the list if you were an early adopter.
Important Update! - I deleted too much out of the layout.json in the first upload. Please download this update to version 0.1.1 (look in the manifest.json)!
Great scenery. Thank you very much. LOVE the jet skier !
