Just beyond the heart of the town of Rangeley lies vast acres of land waiting to be explored. There are numerous trails in the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust trail system for hiking, and plenty of opportunities for backcountry stream and river fishing. If you are looking for a remote camping experience, you can choose to camp in the backcountry or on one of the area's rivers, ponds, or lakes. Another exciting option is to take a paddling/camping trip on our lakes and rivers, an adventure you and your family will cherish for years to come.
