Short takes on great Maine attractions for the family:
Seacoast Park in Trenton - mini golf, climbing wall, water slides, go carts--all the stuff to make for a great day for young and old!
Coos Canyon in Byron is a GREAT way to spend the day-take the family and a picnic! Rent equipment to pan for gold on the Swift River. www.cooscanyonrockandgift.com Don't forget your camera!
Find yourself in Greenville during the foliage season and take a tour on The Kate, a steamship that used to haul logs down the length of Moosehead Lake and has now been refurbished into a tour boat. Bring a warm coat, your camera and water.
Visit Lowe's Covered Bridge, which crosses the Piscataquis River between Dover-Foxcroft and Guilford. This is a replacement bridge for the one that washed away in an ice storm several years ago. Kids have a ball playing on the rocks when the river's water level is low, and you can drive your car across the bridge--and bring your fishing pole!
Treworgy's - A very special place in Levant will keep your kids of all ages busy all day. They can pick apples, pumpkins, go on hay rides and get lost in a corn maze. There's an ice cream stand there, and animals that love to be petted. In other seasons they also have pick your raspberries (yum!).
