BY SUSAN VARNEY Correspondent

There are some wonderful hikes, waterfalls and swim- ming holes in Maine. Get a DeLorme Maine Atlas and start exploring. Get beyond the bike trails and community walking paths with bad boys and their unleashed, “He won’t hurt you” dogs. So maybe we want to get a bit further out from the rail trails. Serious hikers care about the trails, the other people using the trails, keeping the trails available, clean and safe. Most places are pack-in, pack- out, take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but tracks. Also, it is recommended that people hike with a friend.

BY KATE CONE Correspondent

When the dog days of summer finally make their appearance in Maine, what better way to celebrate than making the trek around the state to quench your thirst with a cold, handcrafted beer. Well, saddle up, because you’ve got a lot of traveling to do: at this writing, there are over 90 craft breweries in Maine and plenty of them are located nearby, making for easy day trips. The way life should be? Ayuh. Before you head out, check the breweries’ Facebook page for hours of operation. They can change at a moment’s notice, depending on a weather event, holiday or perhaps a personal disaster (equipment failure) or joyful event (birth of a baby) in a brewer’s life. You’ll also see specials, if any, which beers are on tap and whether food is offered. If they don’t have a Facebook page, call ahead to confirm the hours. Some do not have phone numbers, so you’ll have to just go and check them out!

Summer is the time to get the best value and have the best time by attending beer festivals happen- ing all over Maine. Remember, most are 21-plud events, so unless the festival specifies otherwise, the kiddos will have to stay home. So will Rover.

Check the websites noted. Many of these fests sell out. Get your tickets soon and pay attention to specific parking and other details. You won’t be disappointed once you get there.

CVOA Shooting range The Carrabassett Valley Out- door Association (CVOA) provides a shooting range just off Routes 16 and 27, close to the Appalachian Trail. The Stratton Recreation Department offers a summer program as part of its activities. Neal Trask of Carrabassett Valley runs the Range. The facility offers a variety of target shooting ven- ues, including skeet shooting with shotguns, handguns, rifle and bow and arrow target ranges and clin- ics to help with firearm sightings. “While the gate is locked, people are welcome to walk in and use the range during daylight hours,” Trask said. “If there are children coming in, they would have to be supervised.” Trask said that they don’t have Photos by Dan Cassidy people there to supervise on a The Outdoor Center Pond is open to fishing for catch and release, regular basis. “There are times, which is very popular for anglers.
