Summer In Maine

Summer In Maine Is Special

There's something for everyone

Many people think of the coast when they think of Maine and there certainly is something special about Maine's rocky coast. BUT there is so much more to Maine!

Outdoor Adventure - Shopping - Concerts

Central Maine has it all

Canaan is located just 20 minutes off I95, half way between Skowhegan and Newport, or Augusta and Bangor. This means we are central to many great attractions in Maine.

Here's a few of our favorites.

Whitewater Rafting: Enjoy an exciting trip down the river with experienced guides.

JW Parks Golf Course   Palmyra Golf Course   Lakewood Golf Course

Hiking/Mountain Biking: Take a leisurely stroll thru parks, along the river, our on wooded trails. Walks vary in length and offer bird watching, flower and foliage viewing. Enjoy Mountain Biking on miles of trails with scenic views.

Theater and Museums: We are fortunate in the central Maine area to have cultural opportunities that offer unique museums and live dinner theater. Skowhegan has one of the few remaining Drive In Theaters- great family fun.

Canoe and Kayak: Bring your gear and hit the water and explore any number of ponds, lakes and the famous Kennebec or Sebasticook Rivers. Eagles are very plentiful in Maine and nest along the water so chances are good of seeing these majestic birds.

Fairs and Festival: The Kennebec and Moose River Valley area has many fairs and festivals for fun for all ages. Agricultural fairs and specialty festivals can be found all summer long.

Shopping: Area towns have many quaint and unique shops for a relaxing afternoon. Maine Made products are available at many for a reminder of your Maine vacation. Antiques shops are filled with classic Maine treasures.

Spa:
Relax with a massage, facial or new hair style or color. My favorite is Apollo- ask for Jonathan.
