Bethel sits just east of the Vermont border outside of the White Mountain National Forest. Named the most beautiful mountain town in Maine, Bethel offers year round opportunity for outdoor recreation. In the spring and summer months, enjoy fishing, canoeing and kayaking, whitewater rafting, hiking or golf. Stroll through the walkable downtown area for shopping and dining. Once there’s snowfall, Bethel is among Maine’s best destinations for alpine or Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and après ski fun. Bethel is home to the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum, The Ski Museum of Maine, Maggie Ring’s Nature Park, and the Bethel Recreational Pathway for cyclists. The Appalachian Trail passes just north of Bethel on its way to Canada.
