Welcome to the Chamber!

Sebasticook Valley

The Sebasticook Valley area is the gateway to The Maine Highlands region and the hub of where you want to be! There are 12 beautiful towns to choose from and each is unique in their own way. Every town in the valley lays claim to a major body of water including Big Indian Lake, Weymouth Pond, Corundel Lake, Etna Pond, Great Moose Lake, Lake Wassookeag, Nokomis Pond, Whites Pond, Pleasant Lake, Plymouth Pond, Round Pond, Sebasticook Lake, and Sebasticook River.

The Sebasticook Valley has easy access to Interstate 95 north and south, Route 7 to the coast and northern mountains, and Route 2 going east and west. We are one hour from the dynamic coast of Maine, as well as the Moosehead Lake area, and the Sugarloaf ski areas. We also offer 3 private airports within the valley. Our lovely valley is only 30 minutes from the Bangor and Waterville areas and Bangor International Airport.

The Valley has long been a destination for recreational travelers during all four seasons. Our recreation is diverse all year ‘round! You can experience the real Maine without the crowds and traffic. Snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing are favorite activities during the winter months. Enjoy swimming, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing, hiking, camping, hunting, and ATV trail riding during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. We have wonderful bird-watching areas for viewing, geese, loons, herons, bald eagles, and some rare birds on our lakes, with fox, moose, bear, and deer always nearby roaming our woods and fields.

For family fun, every town in our valley plans summer activities. There are summer concerts, festivals, antique car shows, farmers markets, craft fairs, public suppers, fishing tournaments, and art shows. There are several campgrounds, vacation rental properties, and lodging options to accommodate you during your stay. Come to the valley and choose your fun!
