Lakes & Mountains Region - Western Maine

 

Paddle a canoe on a lake or river, hike the Appalachian trail, explore a historic building, enjoy a color-filled fall sunset and the ambiance of a country B&B.

Maine's west, casual and charming in all seasons, never forgotten.

Take a tour of the unspoiled, peaceful lakes and mountains region of western Maine. Each season dramatically unfolds, from the colorful wildflowers of spring to the beautiful waterways and lush hillsides of summer, from the world's most brilliant fall colors to the stunning white snowcapped mountains of winter. Enjoy your favorite outdoor activity from whitewater rafting to downhill skiing, from leisurely hiking trails to excellent cross country skiing to loon and moose watching. Linger awhile in our quaint Maine villages and culturally diverse cities and towns. Visit local craftspeople, museums, attractions, fairs and festivals. Pamper yourself with the variety of accommodations and dining establishments.

Seek out the covered bridges of bygone days in the towns of South Windham, Fryeburg, Newry, South Andover and Wilsons Mills.

Skiers, check out Shawnee Peak in Bridgton, Sunday River in Newry, Mount Abram in Locke Mills, Lost Valley in Auburn, Saddleback in Rangeley, and Sugarloaf/USA in Kingfield. Cross country skiing, snowmobiling and dog-sledding are other winter adventures offered throughout western Maine. The Rangeley Lake area has some of the finest snowmobiling in the east with connecting trails to the statewide system, New Hampshire, and Canada; excellent trail grooming; beautiful mountain views; convenient trail-side services; and exceptional safety features.

The region's south has Sebago Lake, the state's second largest, and several beautiful smaller lakes and ponds around Naples, Windham, Raymond, Harrison, Bridgton and Fryeburg. At the foothills of the White Mountains, where the Great Ossipee and Saco Rivers converge, you'll find the picturesque village of Cornish brimming with Maine hospitality. At the region's eastern border, Lewiston-Auburn, twin industrial cities with lots of history, await your discovery. Lewiston's walking tour features 100 stops tracing the city's history from the early 1800s.

In Livermore, the Norlands Living History Center, spanning 445 acres, is the 19th century home of Israel and Martha Washburn. Among the seven Washburn sons were two Governors, four Congressmen, one U.S. Senator, a Civil War General and a Secretary of State.
