On the Edge

Edge ImagesIf you like your outdoors with a bit more adrenaline, The Maine Highlands is the place. The landscape here was made for extreme activities in the wild.

For mountain bikers, trails of every level of difficulty are abundant throughout the region. Local outfitters can provide you with trail maps of routes that wind their way through miles of public and private land (a great way to scout for cross-country and snowmobile trails to return to in the winter!)

Want to get vertical? This is a mountain climber's paradise. Challenge your skills on mountains like Kineo, St. Albans, Big Spencer, Big Moose, Barren and Borestone, awesome climbs right next to some of the best camping in the northeast. Or try some of the best technical rock climbing in the crags east of Lincoln. Like your adventure at a rapid pace?

Welcome to whitewater heaven! Rafting and paddling on the Penobscot, Kennebec and Allagash waterways is like spending a day on nature's own thrill ride.

Hunting is a revered tradition in The Maine Highlands. Our respect for wildlife and the need to maintain sustainable populations of native species is deeply ingrained. To hunt here is to reconnect with a way of life as old as America itself. Moose, deer and bird hunting in their respective seasons is well regulated for the benefit of all involved. Registered Maine Guides throughout The Maine Highlands can help ensure a safe and successful hunt experience like no other in New England.
