Tucked into Maine's western mountains, this outpost of civilization sits surrounded by wilderness that beckons the adventurous. Paddle across Attean Lake where moose often appear at the shoreline, seemingly posing for photographs. In winter, snowmobiles buzz through snow-laden forests while summer brings hikers tackling nearby segments of the Appalachian Trail. Big Wood Lake offers pristine waters for fishing enthusiasts, while Moose River provides gentle currents perfect for afternoon kayaking. Coburn Mountain rewards those who make the climb with panoramic views that explain why locals call this the 'Switzerland of Maine.' The small downtown serves as both gathering place and supply station for outdoor enthusiasts before they disappear into the surrounding forest playground.
