Second Connecticut Lake and its chain of glacial waters form the high headwaters of the northernmost Connecticut River. This remote reach of Coos County near the Canadian border is characterized by timberlands and conservation areas like the 4th Connecticut Lake Preserve. The small settlement at Idlewilde sits on the western shore of the second lake, served by the primary highway through Desmond Valley. Significant topographic landmarks such as Salmon Mountain, Deer Mountain, and Black Cat Spur overlook a landscape of specialized water features, including the East Inlet Flowage and numerous high-altitude bogs like Scott Bog and Big Brook Bog. These features suggest a region primarily dedicated to wilderness recreation and resource management, anchored by the Deer Mountain Campground and the cascades at Moose Falls.
