countless lakes, streams, and ponds
Kennebec Valley Campgrounds
The Kennebec Valley is best known for fertile farmlands, countless lakes, streams and ponds, and the Kennebec River. While all types of outdoor activities abound throughout the valley, whitewater rafting on many of the beautiful rivers that flow through this region is especially important. While the Kennebec Valley contains some of Maine’s largest cities – Waterville, Skowhegan and Maine’s capitol city, Augusta – it is best known for its rolling countryside and quiet, old-fashioned villages that define the Winthrop, China and Belgrade Lakes area and others to the north.

Kennebec Valley region Highlights:
- Kennebec Valley features magnificent large tracts of open space, spectacular scenic views and more than an occasional glimpse of Maine’s wildlife.
- State fairs are a staple of this entire region and none is bigger than the Skowhegan State Fair in August. It is the oldest continuously operating state fair in the country.
- Maine’s capital city – Augusta – while the second smallest in the United States (only Montpelier, Vermont, has fewer residents) – offers tours of several museums, historic homes and the old Fort Western, the oldest surviving wooden fort in New England.
- Route 201 follows the trail Benedict Arnold took during his march to Quebec in 1775. A beautiful ride, especially during the late summer and early fall, Route 201, The Kennebec-Chaudiere International Corridor, will take you to the northern portion of this region, which is mostly owned by the paper companies that manage Maine’s huge forest industry.
