Make Your Summer Epic With A Visit To This Hidden Maine Water Park
With a raging winter and only a few months of summer, Maine isn’t exactly known for its water park options. We have some great ones, but after a few summers of the same thing over and over again these can start to make summer feel like a repeat of the year before. But, look out Mainers who love water parks! We’ve found an awesome hidden option to add to this year’s day trips!
Outlet Beach has been a beloved staple to the community since 1930.
It's run by James Beard Award-nominated chef Krista Kern Desjarlais, former chef/owner of Portland's Bresca, where she's slinging gourmet hot dogs, sandwiches and more to hungry beachgoers all summer. On the menu: Alsace Dog - bockwurst, sauerkraut, violet mustard, beer jelly. Visit them at 106 Outlet Road, New Gloucester / 207-926-3388.
It's worth the visit even if you don't plan on going to the beach.
The village is located on 1,800 acres of farm and forest land and includes seventeen historic structures dated from between 1780 and 1950. It's the only existing Shaker Village in the world!
Whatever your reasons for heading to the area, be sure to make a day of it!
