WESTERN LAKES & MOUNTAINS
This region of western Maine, filled with sparkling lakes and ponds, cascading rivers and streams, waterfalls and covered bridges, is the ideal setting for outdoor activities. This is the place to fish, kayak, swim, hunt, and mountain bike. Experience world-class bass, trout, and salmon fishing. Glide along a lake in your canoe or kayak.
Venture into the woods for a hike, or climb a mountain. Bike the rural byways, rent a power boat or kayaks, or hit a few golf balls. Ride your ATV on miles of maintained trails. The Appalachian Trail passes through the Mahoosuc Range, providing a single or multi-day backpacking trek.
