Maine's Kennebec Valley

autumn Splendor

has arrived in Maine’s Kennebec Valley.

Welcome to the KV

Maine’s Kennebec Valley region’s recognition is steadily rising. Made up of Kennebec and Somerset Counties, the area takes its name from the mighty Kennebec River—the heart of this spectacular four season destination. 

Outdoor recreation enthusiasts will have near endless choices. Hikes, bike, or ATV on miles of remote trails. Fish, paddle, or raft on our rivers, lakes and ponds. Snowmobile in the Winter and camp during the summer. 

Those who are more interested in food, shopping, the arts, and scenic drives will not be disappointed. Waterville has become one of New England’s top arts and food cities, while many of the smaller towns across the region are hot on it’s trail. The region boasts the largest number of breweries, distilleries, and cideries per capita.
