Even if you were not very familiar with the regional geography and cultures of Maine, the region name Western Lakes & Mountains is a clue that your getaway to this beautiful region will entail lots of outdoor adventure. Activities in the Western Lakes & Mountains cover a wide gamut from mild mountain walks and slow-rolling kayak trips to vigorous water sports and primitive camping. Almost every bit of outdoor fun that Western Maine can serve up to you is even better when your dog pal is roaming, running, or swimming by your side. Dogs and wild outdoors? The best combination since pancakes and maple syrup. Innkeepers and campground tenders of Western Maine are generous in their welcome to your family pet. They may offer dog beds, generous snacks, free roaming, and – almost without exception – nearby woods and fields for the best walks ever. Don’t even think of leaving your favorite canine back home when you set out for a vacation in Maine’s western lakes and mountains! You and your dog need to meet Rangeley Lake and Sebago Lake and Mount Katahdin. The adventure is even better with you and your family dog making it happen together.
