Outdoorsmen and women can enjoy hiking along an old trail that originally went all the way to Quebec. Fisherman can avail themselves of over 60 lakes and ponds, and this is the perfect place for a scenic drive during the spring, summer and fall months. Hunters will enjoy the opportunities for birds, as well as big game. In the winter, visitors to the area will enjoy cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and over 200 miles of snowmobile trails.
Public campsites are available in many spots throughout the region.
The following three drives go through parts of the Kennebec and Moose River Valleys, and are suggested by the State of Maine. Begin your drive in Farmington, the entryway to Maine's ski country. This route will take you past some of the major ski resort areas, whose mountains should be aflame in fall colors. From Farmington, take U.S. Route 2 into Wilton, where you will pick up Route 156. Take Route 156 northwest into Weld, then head north on Route 142.
