Everyone From Maine Should Take This Awesome Lake Region Vacation Before They Die

One of the benefits of living in Maine is the ability to stay right here at home to have an awesome vacation. Whether it's a summertime beach trip or a winter getaway to the mountains, you can feel miles away from everyday life simply by hopping in the car and heading to an unfamiliar part of the state. If you're planning a trip like that, consider this beautiful slice of heaven near both lakes and mountains.

For the best adventure you can have in Maine, head to The Forks for a vacation at Northern Outdoors Resort.

The sprawling outdoor center in western Maine offers access to year-round fun that can only be had in a place like Maine.

While some outdoor resorts are more rustic than luxury, this one is the perfect mix.

Overnight stays can be enjoyed in private cabins that range from one to four bedrooms.

They even have a campground right on the river, a swimming pool with a huge outdoor hot tub and spaces for nighttime fun including a game area.

And best of all a stay here means some of the best whitewater rivers and lots of trails for hiking, snowmobiling, and ATVing.

The timber frame lodge is a great place to gather after a fun day outdoors. And it can be rented for private events.

So, spend the weekend enjoying great food, a fabulous brewery and getting as close to nature as you can!

Northern Outdoors Adventure Resort is open all year, which isn't the case for all overnight options in Maine. To check out more about it visit their website. Or, check them out on Facebook. You can reach them on 207-663-4466.
