In the event that you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Royal River, and if you came for an overnight stay Adventure Camp is a glorious spot to camp.

This lake is so wonderful. You'll meet a lot of people from Portland-South Portland here, and you can never get enough of the great skiing at Lost Valley. Looking for something next to Highland Lake? Presumpscot River Reservoir is nearby, and Wassamki Springs Campground is a magnificent campground nearby. This lake is so wonderful.

This is a nice small pond just off of 302 but you can't hear any of the busy traffic. I'd recommend LOTS of bug sprays as the mosquitoes tend to swarm and are very plentiful this year. If you're not a fisherman but your children are...there are picnic tables for you to enjoy a book, needlepoint, or just relax and take in the fresh air....
