Hiking

Hiking is one of Rangeley's most popular outdoor activities—spring, summer, and fall. Discover miles of world-class trails, including a section of the Appalachian Trail and stunning views of the rugged Maine landscape. Choose from beginner, dog, and family-friendly to advanced and strenuous trails to find the perfect hike for you and your companions.

There is an AT trailhead a short 9.6 miles from the center of town. Hike to Piazza Rock, with its interesting rock formations, or summit Saddleback Mountain, where you will be rewarded with sweeping views of the Rangeley Lakes to the west and the high peaks region to the east.

Take the kids and family on the storybook walk at the Rangeley Region Guides & Sportsmen's Association or Gnome Roam at the Rangeley Lakes Trails Center.

Join Trails for Rangeley Area Coalition (TRAC), a social group of like-minded people who enjoy outdoor activities. There are no costs to attend, no transportation is provided, and volunteer leaders receive no compensation. TRAC leaders are familiar with the trail they lead but are NOT formally trained outdoors people nor certified in first aid. All planned hikes are posted in events.
