Maine and quaint and quiet New England towns. The Kennebec Valley is a
quieter side of Maine that begs to be
explored in every season. Paddling,
hiking, snowmobiling, fishing are all

Skowhegan, the Kneading Conference
and Fiber Frolic in June.

Maine's Lake's & Mountains
Passing through the many communities that make up Maine's Lake's and
Mountains you'll see that you are
surrounded by nearly endless access
to the outdoors. From the broad and
welcoming shores of Sebago Lake in
the south to the deep forested areas
that flank the Appalachian Trail to the
north and the hundreds of miles of ski
slopes on Saddleback, Sugarloaf, and
Sunday River. The beauty and bounty
of being this close to nature gives visitors to the region no reason whatsoever to complain that they have nothing
to do. Even the many small communities spread out through the region offer something for everyone: Take the
Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway - spot a
moose, maybe. Visit Lewiston & Auburn's twin cities for a taste of in-town
culture, and the Sebago area delivers

BEST SELECTION. BEST FLOORPLANS. BEST PRICES.

on the promise of an easy lakeside
summer vacation. Like the other inland regions, the Lakes & Mountains
region is oriented primarily from south
to north with communities connected
not by four and six lane highways but
by well-worn two lane roads with just
enough scenery between them to remind you that you are still out in the
country. Following Rt. 302 out of Portland brings you up into the Sebago
Lakes region from there explore Fryeburg or Norway's Main Street. Continue north on Rt. 26 into Bethel, it's one
of the sweetest and most beautiful
mountain towns ever. Outside Newry
don't forget to track down the famed
Artist's Covered Bridge a magnet for
generations of photographers and all
kinds of artist.
This is Maine camping country and an
apt place for the journey we have taken
through Maine to come to a close. The
pink clouds veined with golden light
from the setting sun over the Presidential Range to the west are spectacular.
Countless cascading and easy to reach
