Central Maine is known for its outstanding
outdoor recreation, and extends from the
state capital of Augusta, to the upper Kennebec
and Moose River Valleys north to Canada. It is
best known for its world-class whitewater rafting
on the Penobscot River, Kennebec River and the
Dead River during the spring and summer months.
Fall is loaded with color, showing off what it
does best this time of year. The winter months have
plenty to offer such as snowmobiling, ice fishing,
both downhill and cross-country skiing and, of
course, lots of open trails for snowshoeing.
After all that exercise, you may want to relax at
a nearby restaurant, browse antique shops or visit
the Stanley Auto Museum in Kingfield. There are
also sightseeing attractions that include the Maine
State Museum, the capital city of Augusta, and the
Margaret Chase Smith Library in Skowhegan. You'll
find the University of Maine Orono, located in the
town of Orono, along the banks of the Stillwater
River. It is Maine's largest university, as well as one
of New England's premier institutions for learning.
