Spring 2018 – Winter 2019

Courtesy of Rangeley Lakes Chamber of Commerce 6 Park Road, PO Box 317 Rangeley, ME 04970 www.RangeleyMaine.com Who, What, WhereWho, & When 207-864-5571 WELCOME - The Rangeley Lakes Region is a vast area. Within its borders lie hundreds of square miles of unrivaled beauty - beauty in the grandeur of its many large lakes, the calm still- ness of hundreds of small lakes and ponds - 111 in all - and the majesty of its evergreen-clad mountains. Here, you will find one of the few areas where you can enjoy the high altitude, clean cool air, and other advantages of a mountain vacation combined with the pleasure of all water and winter sports. The unpar- alleled variety of play in the Rangeley Lakes Region makes it unexcelled as a vacationland. Encompassed in the Rangeley Lakes Region are the towns of Dallas Plantation, Rangeley Plantation, Sandy River Plantation, Oquossoc and Rangeley. Each of these has at some time over the past 150 years attained prominence. Today each contributes its share of scenic spots and interesting trails to assist the vacationer in his quest for a unique and restful sojourn from city living. More details and many interesting facts relating to the history of the Region may be obtained from your host, elder citizens, and various publications. This booklet is intended merely to assist you with information about the area’s many activities, services, scenic splendors and where to find them.
