Don’t Miss The Great Maine Outdoor Week

If you love the outdoors, you will want to participate in The Great Maine Outdoor Week, scheduled for September 21 – 30. And take some friends out with you.

The Great Maine Outdoor Week and the weekend series is a project of the Maine Outdoor Coalition, a network of partners dedicated to increasing connection to the outdoors for all people in Maine.

The events are led by outdoor oriented organizations, including the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, and companies to celebrate the how, where, and what of being active outside in Maine. Their goal is to connect our friends and neighbors with the natural world, to promote fun, physical activity, & good health.

Activities occur across the state and at a variety of participation levels, introductory to advanced. Many are children and family oriented, some even allow attendance by dogs.
