Trip is canceled  due to the Maine’s Governor not permitting the hotel to open until June 1, and during the month of June they may only host guests from within Maine.  That restriction currently continues through the summer in the form of a 14-day quarantine for visitors from out of state.

The westernmost portion of Maine is an extension of the majestic White Mountains into Maine and is a place of great scenic beauty. All manner of water sports are done on the region’s numerous lakes. Rangeley Lake State Park consists of 869 remote acres on the 10-square-mile lake, which is famous for landlocked salmon and trout fishing. There are designated National and State scenic roads in abundance.

Our first day’s ride will cover Rangeley Lakes Area. We will wind through the mountains and lakes of western Maine on the Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway and the Grafton Notch Scenic Byway. We can step back in time and treat ourselves to spectacular scenery, outstanding recreational opportunities, abundant wildlife, local museums and quaint New England villages.

Our second day trip we will be traveling up for lunch in Greenville, Maine on the banks of Moosehead Lake and traveling The Old Canada Road Scenic Byway. This is a snapshot in time. Tracing the route of generations of travelers between Maine and Quebec, this segment of U.S. Route 201 winds right alongside the Kennebec River, Wyman Lake, and the Dead River. Encounter old-time villages and abundant wildlife in mountain ridges, forests, and rivers.

Come join us for a 4-day event starting on Friday,  June 19, 2020 and ending Monday, June 22, 2020.

Our accommodations are in The Historic Rangeley Inn, located at 2443 Main Street, Rangeley Lake, Maine. The Rangeley is located on a National Scenic Byway, including dramatic views of Rangeley Lake, Mooselookmeguntic Lake and the surrounding mountains. One of the last of nearly a dozen of grand hotels that were built in the early 1900’2 in the region.

We have 14 rooms blocked until 2/1/2020. There is a limitation of 14 cars on this trip. Once filled there will be a waitlist.

For June 19, 20 and 21, 2020, the inn offers a group rate of $120.00 plus 9% lodging tax per night. This would include breakfast each morning. The rate would be good for rooms inside the inn with one queen bed, one king bed, or two queen beds. They require a one-night deposit for each room that is rented, and their group rates follow a 14-day cancellation policy. The rooms are blocked until February 1, 2020, permitting you adequate time to place your reservation  and deposit.
