The Rangeley Lakes Region in Western Maine has been a tourist destination for well over a century. The area boasts an abundance of lakes, streams, mountains and forests which offer a host of outdoor activities. The town of Rangeley, incorporated in 1855, represents small town atmosphere at its finest, with a wonderful library and waterfront park, marina, antique, gift, and ice cream shops, historical society, IGA, and over a dozen restaurants from casual to fine dining.
The Appalacian trail traverses the 3-4,000 foot mountains that surround Rangeley and Mooselookmeguntic lakes. Hiking trails abound. Wildlife sitings from moose, loons, deer and fox are common. The town hosts a variety of summer activities, including a concert series and a blueberry festival.
