Things to Do
Explore the activities and attractions around and nearby Rideout's Lodge
There is always something to do at Rideout's, whether you want to relax by the water or explore the Maine wilderness.
Hiking
Peekaboo Mountain is nearby and is a great, family-friendly hike to a fire tower where the views are magnificent in all directions. On many days, Maine's highest mountain (Mount Katahdin) can be seen - a striking view from almost 100 miles away!
Canadian Day Trips
We are close to two border crossings (Passports or Passport Cards required) in Orient and Forest City, Maine from where you can explore New Brunswick. If you traveled about 32 miles north on Route 1 to Houlton, you would have access to the Trans-Canadian Highway where the cities of Woodstock and Fredericton, NB are easily reached.
Bird Watching
We have many species of birds and waterfowl to watch, enjoy photographing hummingbirds (a large community on-site @ Rideout's), bald eagles, osprey, hawks, owls, loons, ducks and many others.
