A few words describe the Kennebec & Moose River Valleys region well: the multitude of lakes and rivers, its mountains and its particular fauna.

The area begins in Augusta and if you continue along the Kennebec River, you will pass by Waterville, Skowehegan, The Forks and Jackman, the snowmobile capital.

The outdoor fan will appreciate activities such as kayaking, canoeing, swimming, white-water rafting, hiking, bicycling, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, hunting and fishing. There are several museums and historic sites to visit. The lakeside cabins, the parks and the gardens are ideal for those people wishing to relax.

Activities:

• Thunder Road Farm: A labyrinth shaped as a lobster and a lighthouse where the exit is a true discovery. In the city of Corinna.
• Lakeside Orchards: During summer, pick-up your own fruits and vegetables and in fall, find the apples, ciders and other local products. In the city of Manchester.
• Maple Lane Farm Bed and Breakfast: The farm is surrounded by gardens, orchards, woods and pastures. At a minimal distance, you can fish, hike, bicycle and swim, have a good dinner or shop. In the city of Windsor.
