Maine's Marvelous Coastline: Ten Days in Acadia, Bath, Bethel, and Camden

Overview

Now that you’ve experienced Bethel, it’s time to explore its most picturesque — and adventurous — surroundings. After another delicious breakfast at your hotel, kick off the morning's road trip with the scenic drive to Rangeley Lake. The journey takes about an hour and a half, but promises sweeping views of the region’s lands, lakes, and lushness. Upon arriving at Rangeley Lake, you can choose between an array of activities, depending on your mood. Spend the morning soaking in vistas of Maine’s western mountains by renting a stand-up paddle board to explore the calm waters of Rangeley Lake. You’ll also have the chance to hike, either up the mountains or through lower-altitude stretches of the forest. When your stomach starts to grumble, pause for a relaxed midday meal at a local cafe known for its fresh fare and homemade pastries. Enjoy a selection of gourmet sandwiches, bright salads, and daily specials made with high-quality ingredients, along with fresh baked breads and enticing pastries. The welcoming atmosphere creates the perfect place to recharge over a casual yet elevated lunch. In the afternoon, you'll make your way back to your hotel, soaking in the fresh air and never-ending views along the way.
