Maine is full of amazing hikes, along rivers, mountain peaks, and the beautiful coast. The problem with hiking in Maine is decided which trail to chose! The Rangeley Lakes Region abounds with walking and hiking opportunities. Ten of the fourteen tallest peaks in Maine, 4000 foot or higher, are in the Rangeley Lakes Region within a 45 minute drive to trail heads. Bigelow (Avery Peak), Bigelow (West Peak), Crocker, Mt. Abraham, Mt.

The Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust has conserved over 12,500 acres of woodland, much with lake and pond access, and has provided well-maintained walking/trekking trails for general public use. Whether it’s a short hike up Bald Mountain which offers a spectacular panoramic view from its fire tower, a Story Walk along the Hatchery Brook Preserve with a picnic lunch on the tables provided and some fishing from the dock you’ll find, or a thrilling scramble alongside the Cascade Gorge Trail, the walking trails in the Rangeley region are plentiful and offer something for everyone.
