The waters and mountains will lure you here and then lull you into a dreamy serenity. Enjoy summer days moosewatching from your canoe on a placid pond, or go for thrills with a wild whitewater raft trip.
Winter brings fantastic snowmobiling, skiing and ice fishing.
History and culture abound at the region's southern tip around Greater Bangor. The great outdoors of Baxter State Park just beyond Millinocket offers over 200,000 acres with 46 mountain peaks, the highest being Mount Katahdin at over 5,000 feet. There are more than 175 miles of hiking trails and ten campgrounds in a park of massive grandeur. Skirting the southern perimeter of the park is one of the most spectacular whitewater rivers in the East, equal in difficulty to any river in the country, the West Branch of the Penobscot. The Moosehead Lake area abounds with freshwater delights-great fishing, colossal boating and scenic wonders that until now you could only dream about.
