Ruggedly Beautiful Western Maine

A quick overview of Western Maine reveals it to be a rough and tumble place fit for travelers who love adventure, lovely landscapes and the chance to stray from vacation mediocrity. This trip may not involve cabanas and mai tais, but it will be rewarding, raw and utterly different.


During the winter the lakes and mountains will surely tempt you outdoors but you’ll certainly find that it’s worth it to subject yourself to the chilly weather conditions. Bundle up and head out for a day of cross-country skiing, and then return to the cozy fireplace back at your vacation cabin. This will come in handy during autumn, too, so don’t overlook the possibility of taking a fun and perfectly sane outdoor adventure any time you want.


Summer is definitely a beautiful season in places like Bethel, Bridgton and Little Sebago Lake, and vacation houses make fine jumping off points when it comes time to enjoy one of the lakes, play golf or simply hike through the wilderness. Life looks pretty manageable from the seat of a canoe or at the top of a mountain.


So whether you and the family (or your fellow overworked adults) find yourself here to ski or swim, there’s a comfortable place to make your very own. Even more low-profile than the sophisticated yet laid-back towns on the Southern Coast of Maine, these hamlets and resort areas are ready and waiting for every kind of group. It’s not hard to enjoy stunning scenery and fresh air while appreciating that there are shops, restaurants and plenty of other chances to encounter civilization when those inevitable needs arise.


This is vacationland at its best, so head to Maine’s western wilds for a different (in a good way) kind of trip.
