Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:

Situated along the banks of Maine’s Kennebec River, the town of Skowhegan was once the heart of the logging industry in the state. The river is now a natural resource that has been revitalized, providing a place for boating and fishing. This has helped the region become a gateway for the whitewater rafting Maine is known for. Skowhegan has also been recognized for dedicating itself to the restoration of its historic downtown and boasts a “nationally designated Main Street community.” Skiing, swimming, biking, hiking, and many other activities can also be found in and around the town.
