The Central region of Maine is known for its outstanding recreation, and extends from the state capital of Augusta, to the upper Kennebec and Moose River Valleys north to Canada. The region is best known for its world-class whitewater rafting on the Penobscot River, Kennebec River and Dead River in The Forks region.

Summer activities may include both sporting and cultural events; from hiking and biking in the parks and nature trails, taking in a round of golf, boating and fishing on Belgrade Lakes, and visiting state fairs and festivals. Riding in Central Maine in the Fall, is a wonderful experience. The air is crisp, and the trees along the roads and in the hills, are loaded with color, showing off what it does best this time of year. The winter months have plenty to offer as well, 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, explore art galleries, or take in a movie. There are also sightseeing attractions that include the Maine State Museum, the State Capital in Augusta, and the Margaret Chase Smith Library in Skowhegan. You will also find in the area, the University of Maine- Orono. UMO is located in the town of Orono along the banks of the Stillwater River and just above Bango. It is Maine's largest University, as well as one of New England's premier institutions.

You have much to choose from while visiting the Central Region and lower valleys in Maine, so be sure to come back soon, we're right off Route I-95.
