This Sagadahoc county town is located near Merrymeeting Bay, in which 5 rivers including the Kennebec join before merging with the sea.

This tourist-friendly area is also the year-round home of residents who enjoy the close relationship with the natural world that this area provides. From hiking and sailing in the summer, to snowshoeing and cross country skiing in the winter, coastal Maine is a beautiful back-drop for a rich fabric of animal life.
