Small-town charm. Breathtaking views. Neighbors who wave.
Welcome to the Rangeley Lakes Region! Whether you’re stationed here temporarily or planning to put down roots, this guide is designed to help families get settled quickly and comfortably.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• Four distinct seasons – Snow gear isn’t optional here.
• Wildlife neighbors – Moose, deer, ducks, and the occasional fox may cross your driveway… or Main Street.
• Shopping takes planning – The local IGA works for quick basics, but most locals head to Edmund’s Market (Phillips) Fotter’s Market (Stratton) or larger grocery/Walmart locations in Rumford or Farmington for bigger trips.
• No traffic lights – And minimal traffic, except, during peak tourist seasons, or when you get stuck behind a logging truck.
• Friendly faces – People wave whether they know you or not.
INSIDER TIPS FOR SMALL-TOWN LIFE
• Winter Prep: Snow tires are a must, and keep a snow broom in your car.
• In winter, enjoy skiing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing.
• In warmer months, enjoy hiking, fishing, boating, and plenty of lake days.
• Local Pace: Many stores and restaurants close early — check hours before heading out.
