At first, you may think this region is merely sitting in between the drama of Katahdin and the allure of the ocean. But the Kennebec region, defined by the Kennebec and Moose River valleys, is one of Maine's most picturesque, with mirror-flat lakes, swaths of woodlands and tumultuous rivers. Visitors come for foliage, lakeside vacations, whitewater rafting and snowmobiling.
