Wildlife viewing at dusk or dawn within the Grafton Notch State Park’s roadways invariably results in sightings of majestic moose. Other wildlife you might see are deer, bears, geese, cormorants, ducks, herons, kingfishers, and American bald eagles. While canoeing or kayaking the Androscoggin River you can see graceful trees long dead lean out here and there, offering sharp contrast to the often lush mossy banks.

During the winter the Bethel area has miles of beautifully groomed cross-country ski trails, an affordable and healthy activity for everyone. Sunday River Ski Resort offers over 100 trails on seven mountains. There are also two family ski areas: Mt. Abram and Black Mountain, both within minutes of the camping area. There are also snowmobile trails that can be accessed directly from Stony Brook Recreation and Camping, where you can ride throughout the Northeast.

The fall season is a beautiful time to enjoy Maine’s western mountains. You can enjoy the wonderful experience of canoeing or kayaking, hiking or biking amidst a blaze of spectacular color and picturesque views of migrating birds. Picnic on the Sunday River Covered Bridge, Maine’s most photographed covered bridge or take the road up Mt. Washington, an easy ride from Stony Brook Recreation and Camping.

Western Maine is truly a four season vacation area. Come visit us at Stony Brook Recreation & Camping and experience life at its fullest!
