The King's Port Inn is wishing everybody a wonderful winter season! We hope you are spending time with family and friends and doing the activities that you love. We wanted to remind you Maine is a great place for fun outside recreation during the snowy season. Maine is a very big state, and if you don't mind travelling, there are many great winter events all within driving distance. To name a few:
Nordic Skiing In Acadia National Park. Many of Maine's ski resorts(Sugarloaf, Saddleback, Sunday River) have their own Nordic areas, but none match the beauty of Acadia National Park. The views from Acadia's trails are beautiful, and it's called Maine's "secret wonderland". With only a few inches of snow and some grooming, the carriage roads in the park make the perfect cross-country ski trails. Located about 4 1/2 hours from Kennebunkport.
Camden Snow Bowl. The Camden Snow Bowl is a ski resort in eastern Maine, with a cozy 1300 foot mountain called Ragged Mountain. But it has a big perk: it is the only ski resort on the east coast where you can ski and enjoy spectacular ocean views from the summit. The Snow Bowl is also famous for its 400-foot toboggan run, open to the public on weekends and holidays, which attracts thrill seekers to the US National Toboggan Championships. Located about 2 1/2 hours from Kennebunkport.
Dog Sledding/Skijoring. There are several outfitters in Maine that will give you an unforgettable taste of winter adventure. Maine Dog Sledding Adventures offers 3-day, 2-day, and full or half day tours for groups of 1-4 at the base of Mt. Katahdin. They also teach Skijoring, a relatively new sport making waves across New England that lets adventurers ride with their own dog(or one of theirs) with relatively little equipment. About 4 1/2 hours from Kennebunkport.
Catch A Big One On Moosehead Lake. Seasoned ice fishers can simply obtain a license and head out to the ice on one of Maine's beautiful frozen lakes. On Moosehead Lake, visitors can rent ice shacks for the day, and several outdoor outfitters(such as Northwoods) offer guided ice fishing tours. About 4 hours north of Kennebunkport.
