Augusta spans both sides of the scenic Kennebec River – a well-used waterway for early explorers, and later for loggers – and today, mostly used for recreation. Kayaking, whitewater rafting, fishing and hunting, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and more are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Take advantage of local hiking and biking trails, award-winning golf courses, and easily accessible ski resorts.

This area is marked by picturesque lakes and rivers where bald eagles are regularly spotted. Waterfront homes are available within the city limits, and in the popular Lakes region adjacent to the city. Take your pick of many welcoming neighborhoods, and small towns adjacent to Augusta.
