Scenic Long Lake KEVIN SHIELDS REGION 2 Western Lakes & Mountains MAINE S WESTERN LAKES AND MOUNTAINS Region is truly a four-season destination. Not only is the region close, its one hour from the Portland Jetport; it s also family-friendly, safe and affordable. The region is a study in contrasts, from the hustle bustle of Lewiston-Auburn to the rural Sebago Lakes area to the quiet serenity and winding back roads of quaint New England villages like Bethel, Norway, Farmington, and Rangeley. Best known for its crystal clear lakes and rugged mountain ranges, the region also offers many outdoor activities including water sports, fishing, hiking, biking, golfing and skiing. When it s time to relax and refuel, choose from many great restaurants in the area. You might enjoy a handcrafted brew at a local pub, or a family outing to the homemade frozen custard stand. If you re looking for a unique experience, there are opportunities to enjoy llama trekking or digging in quarries for gemstones and minerals such as Continued on page 46 36 Maine Campground Owners Association www.campmaine.com
Spring, Summer or Fall, Maine Camping has it all! CAMPING IN MAINE during the summer months is a popular pastime for thousands of guests annually. Many campgrounds open early and close late, extending well beyond the reaches of the summer months. Why not enjoy Maine in the spring and fall? Many campgrounds and businesses alike are open for the season and anxious to welcome our state s visitors. Numerous campgrounds offer reduced off-season rates! Popular tourist areas and attractions are less crowded. The spring months offer fresh vitality not only to nature, but to seasonal businesses and travelers alike. These beautiful weeks preceding the official start of summer offer campers an excellent opportunity to enjoy each day to its fullest. Many of our state s guests leave for another year at the close of Labor Day weekend, missing the glorious fall months. When the crowds diminish, those who remain are at liberty to enjoy the sights and magnificent fall foliage. Barring local frosts, northern and northwestern portions of Maine are at their best during the last week in September. Eastern and central Maine follow suit during the first week in October; while the southern and coastal regions reach full color about the middle of October. Maine is also home to over twenty Agricultural Fairs, the majority of which are held during the months of August and September, winding up with the famous Fryeburg Fair the first full week of October. HARRY TOWNSEND Reservations Are Important PEAK WEEKS IN THE SUMMER are from the close of school until Labor Day. During this time most campgrounds encourage reservations and some have minimum requirements for holiday weekends and heavily booked vacation weeks. Although you may find a campsite available if you travel without reservations, we urge you to call ahead if you have certain dates and accommodations in mind. Be sure you understand reservation and refund policies for the campground. These are necessary so the campground can plan appropriately and facilitate other requests. We hope your visit will be pleasurable and that you will return again soon. V REGION 2 WESTERN LAKES & MOUNTAINS M a i n e C a m p i n g G u i d e 2 0 0 9 37
