Why Rangeley, Maine?

Rangeley is one of New England’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by six major lakes, the Appalachian Trail, and endless forest, this is paradise for anyone who loves the outdoors. In your free time you can swim and kayak at Rangeley Lake State Park, hike Bald Mountain for panoramic views, spot moose at dawn, or ride the trails at Saddleback Mountain.
