Rocky gorges and waterfalls to swim in |
If you've never been to Maine, I hope to show you some of it here. There's so much to see and do: lakes, streams, gorges, mountains, wildness, sweet air, pure water, yummy local food and drink, ski in winter, hike in summer, swimming in pure lakes and streams, kayaking, canoeing, boating, camping in nearby state parks. Or do what I did: get cozy and take it easy at the historic Rangeley Inn.
The Inn is conveniently located in downtown. We walked to shops and restaurants from the Inn (an ice-cream store is right next door). The Inn has canoes and kayaks for guests to use and access to Haley's Pond in their backyard.

Historical Society
Also, be sure to walk through the quaint town from the Inn and stop at The Historical Society. A very friendly person there will be happy to answer questions about the history and area. The historic building houses many 19th century artifacts. This tiny building still has the old post office, bank and jail on display. Kids will love walking inside the old bank vault. You can also see antique ladies dresses, early photographs, and interesting items.
Senior Communities
While there are no senior communities in the area of note, there happens to be a small apartment building for seniors, the Rangeley Townhomes, in town. Volunteers serve meals at the senior center. The Health Center , a mile from town, has stunning lake views. Some of the activities for seniors and all ages are yoga, strength training, massage and more.
The Rangeley Lake Area Resorts and Homes
The major towns we visited on Rangeley lake were Rangeley and Oquossoc. There are many condos and townhomes in these areas for short-term vacation leasing or for purchase long-term. Also, Saddleback Resort is nearby with condos to lease for long or short-term. They have a good list of places to stay in Rangeley on their website, but for the most convenience to restaurants, shopping and activities in town, the Rangeley Inn was our first choice. (Note: Please check status of the famous ski resort at Saddleback for upcoming seasons.)
While the large hotels and small cottages of yesterday have faded away, except for the Rangeley Inn, today's trend in real estate in the area is to purchase a lot and build your own permanent or vacation home.
This area is still so quiet and peaceful that I would say your stay here could be very healing At least for me it was. Tranquil, sweet air, pure water, good food and gorgeous scenery. It can be very restful (or very active if that is what you like.)

Blue sky and water blending into one--clear water and lily pads on Haley's Pond behind the Rangeley Inn--a natural meditation and healing place -- hear the loons at night. Ah! A piece of heaven on earth in Rangeley!Wilson Lake in Wilton: (You can go through Wilton on your way to Rangeley)
Another beautiful lake is in Wilton and is called Wilson Lake. It is part of the Rangeley chain of 7 lakes.
You can swim, canoe, kayak, fish and boating
in these lakes.
We were lucky to be there when this sunset happened one evening. It started out a pale hue and became rich with color.
Also, in Wilton is an Italian Restaurant. We dined on fresh haddock, shrimp, other northern Atlantic seafood, grass fed beef burgers, and locally grown vegetables. Don't miss this restaurant in Wilton. There is also a huge pick your own blueberries farm in Wilton. We paid $2 for a quart of blueberries. There was a Blueberry Festival coming in August in Wilton.
Don't miss this Italian restaurant if you are in Wilton -- Calzolaio Pasta Company is in the old Bass Shoe Factory. History and photos on display. Great ambience and food. Italian food, seafood, fresh local vegetables, and more are on the menu.
People gather at this scenic spot to see this lake from the roadside.
