Why Rangeley, Maine?
Rangeley is a legendary four-season resort town in western Maine, surrounded by mountains, forests and more than 100 lakes and ponds. In summer the town fills with vacationing families, hikers and boaters, giving the little downtown a lively, holiday atmosphere.
On your days off you can kayak or paddleboard on Rangeley Lake, hike a section of the Appalachian Trail, chase waterfalls at Angel Falls, swim at the state park beach, or simply watch one of the darkest, most star-filled night skies in the eastern United States. If you stay into the fall, you’ll experience New England’s famous autumn foliage – entire mountainsides turning red, orange and gold. Portland is within road-trip distance, and Boston, New York and Canada are all reachable on a longer weekend.
About Maine
