Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway
Highlights of Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway
The Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway covers an area of gleaming lakes and rolling hills, and is one of the loveliest reaches of Maine's outback. Unlike the area around Maine's coast, the Rangeley region is dense woodland opening up occasionally to make room for lakes, streams, and ponds. Fluid meadows dot the area with wildflowers waving in the wind. The serene quality of the area provides a place of unusual beauty and peace that allows wildlife to roam and thrive. While the best views and experiences can be had out in the open on a walk through nature's majesty, the sights gained at every turn on the byway are equally impressive. Drives lead to striking overlooks of mountains, lakes, and forests.
The scenic vista Height of Land is particularly enchanting in the fall. One of the most dramatic turnouts in the state, Height of Land shines during the fall foliage. It offers a stunning view of the mountain ranges blanketed in dazzling oranges, reds, and yellows. The nearby deep blues of lakes provide a startling contrast.
