When it comes to summertime dining, there’s nothing better than being outside in the Maine fresh air. Surrounded by trees with the sun shining down, warm weather in Maine just calls out for beautiful surroundings. While the coast is nice, it’s also possible to enjoy some wonderful outdoor dining inland. This spot sits right on the edge of a beautiful pond, which acts as its very own lagoon!

Cindy's Dockside Restaurant is located on the banks of Range Pond, in Poland, Maine.
