REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS
“Absolutely EVERYTHING about this trip was perfect: itinerary, food, lodgings, trip leaders, educational opportunities. A perfect example of why Wilderness Travel will always be our first choice when planning adventures.”
“We were taught so much beyond the usual viewpoint given to a tourist that I felt I had a much deeper understanding of the culture and history than I would have if traveling with a different company.”
“An incredible variety of activities was packed into the trip, yet we never felt rushed. It would be impossible to do what we did in the same period of time without the expertise of WT guides.”
“I have dreamed of taking this trip for years. Truly this journey exceeded my expectations on all fronts. The wildlife, terrain, people, staff and fellow trip mates made it an adventure to always treasure. I feel blessed and fortunate. Thank you Wilderness Travel. You have my complete confidence.”
“Because of our Trek Leader’s vast experience in the area, we used several trails that aren’t known to many trekkers and we were invited into Sherpa homes, which was wonderful. I had been dreaming of this trip for 30 years and now those dreams are fulfilled.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a more interesting trip and two outstanding guides, accommodations, and meals. This was our fourth trip with Wilderness Travel and one of the best (although we say that about every trip we have been on!)”
“I love Wilderness Travel! You select the best guides, a variety of special places to stay, the food is always plentiful and cultural, and the adventure is top drawer! Thank you for offering trips that expand one’s knowledge of other cultures while making it enjoyable and fun.”
“We are still on a high a month after the trip, having had wonderful guides, camp crew, co-travelers, and the right mix of comfort and authentic experience.”
“WOW! This was an extraordinary trip. It was meticulously planned, but allowed for many spontaneous interactions and delightful surprises. Another WT success story.”
“This was my first trip to India and I cannot imagine a better introduction. Because of the care with which the trip had been planned and organized, I was able to relax, enjoy, and try to fully absorb the experience without spending even a moment concerned about the quotidian details of the trip. What a luxury.”
“Everyone was so thorough and helpful. It was like being whisked around on a magic carpet. Doors opened, every wish fulfilled, amazing service!”
“It was an indescribable, life-affirming experience that I will always cherish. In particular, I wanted to commend your selection of Trip Leaders. Their skill, thoughtfulness, and dedication made the entire trip seem effortless even though the challenge was great.”

Client experiences.
“We can’t more effusively praise the professional services of Outdoor Travel Adventures — especially Roseann Iovine, who so diligently helped us to plan our family dream vacation to Australia. She spent countless hours with us from beginning to end, helping us to explore various potential itineraries, highlighting the pros and cons of each potential destination. She is so thoroughly knowledgeable about everything ranging from the quality of a given activity, event or landmark to the pragmatic details of transportation, timing, and lodging alternatives.
We never felt pressured or pushed into an option we weren’t excited about; instead, Roseann was intent on ensuring that our vacation itinerary would be just right for our family and our particular interests. She helped us plan the trip 11 months prior to our departure, and she stayed in touch throughout the months leading up to our departure date. As we neared our departure date, she reviewed our entire itinerary and made sure that all of our flight documents were in order. During the trip itself, she checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves without any difficulties.
We happened to be in Australia during the peak of the bushfires, and Roseann was super helpful (together with their local affiliate) to help us make a couple of detours that turned out to be great experiences in the end. We absolutely loved our trip to Australia, especially our Great Barrier Reef experience on an amazingly beautiful island. We can’t thank Roseann enough and wholeheartedly endorse her super travel agent services. Highly recommended, without reservation!!!”
— The Reilly Family
“We just came back from an epic five weeks tour of Australia, New Zealand and Bora Bora. We could not be more pleased with the arrangement from Sue Rovegno. Thanks to her we had a smooth and trouble free trip. Five weeks across different time zones and countries, it’s easy to be confused but she set up the trip perfectly and had tours that fit our interests. Sue had a lot of experience and can help you with whatever your adventures you want. Thank you Sue we’ve had a great time.”
“There are not enough words to describe how pleased we are with service Outdoor Travel provided for our recent trip to Austraila.
Sue Rovegno and the entire team against many challenges fires ..weather and virus. The guidance and care Sue provided to create an agenda that meet our needs was flawless. When we were concerned about whether to go on the trip due to the fires..smoke and early virus warning .. Sue made sure we had all the information to make the decision ..right for us. The new agenda provided us with a few unquie opportunities…to see a different perspective of this amazing country.
Thank you for staying on point with us until we landed back home.”
“I found Outdoor Travel Adventures in San Diego. Lindsay Santoro and I spoke at length about our goals, time frame, budget, likes and dislikes, preferences, travel experiences and more. I was extremely impressed by her knowledge of both countries as well as the questions she asked.
Our experience with Outdoor Travel Adventures was extraordinary. Indeed, they exceeded our expectations in every aspect of our adventure and we are beyond grateful for their herculean efforts handling our transition back to the US. They converted what could have been an extraordinarily stressful and time consuming situation into a very manageable conclusion to our New Zealand trip.”
— Vivian L.
“From the very first contact email to the last, Sari was extremely professional, asked for our input, followed through, asked for confirmations, looked to save us some money, and showed her expertise to arrange things to the smallest details. She went out of her way to make sure that she helped us with our dream vacation by listening to what we would like to do and by suggesting other things that we did not think of. We just returned from our 18 day trip and everything went super smoothly; from reservations to all the airport/hotel pickups (even on official holidays). We could not be more pleased! Even our teenager noted that our Travel Agent did a great job. We could not agree more! We will certainly use our Outdoor Travel Adventures in the near future. I cannot recommend them highly enough!”

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL ALASKA OUTDOORS HAS SUSPENDED ALL RESERVATIONS FOR THE 2024 TOUR SEASON.
We apologize for the inconvenience. It is unclear at this time if this will change and encourage you to look for other Alaska travel options. We have been serving our guests continuously since 2001 and are very disappointed. We look forward to resuming operations as soon as we are able.
Alaska Outdoors Adventure Tours
Award Winning Tours since 2001
Alaska Outdoors’ award-winning, small group adventure tours combine travel to Alaska’s world-famous National Parks and protected areas with active outdoor exploration and adventure.

Travel with a small group, avoid the crowds, view wildlife, challenge yourself, and travel worry free. You choose your adventure; we’ll take care of all the details!

The Best Outdoor Adventures in America
We all crave the big outdoors—vast spaces, few people, lots to see and soak up. We scoured the US for the best new trips. Et voilà: 21 great escapes in the US, for everyone from the laidback to the daredevil.
![The Best Outdoor Adventures in America Now the best outdoor adventures in america now](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/outdoor-adventures-in-america1-1608314498.jpg?crop=0.501xw:1.00xh;0.244xw,0&resize=640:*)
Henry David Thoreau, the American naturalist and philosopher, called our desire for big nature "the tonic of wilderness." We sure all need it now. Below are 21 great outdoor adventures—on the East coast, the West coast, the Midwest, and the South. We have organized them by degrees of physical difficulty involved: From almost none (Part 1, Adventures Lite), to some (Part 2, Active Adventures), to substantial (Part 3, Challenging Adventures), to, well, daredevil territory (Part 4, Extreme Adventures). Booking information is provided. And just this bit of advice: Know thyself.
PART 1: ADVENTURES LITE (for when you don't really want to break a sweat)
Snowmobile to hot springs in Idaho
![snow mobile rides in idaho's shore club lodge in winter snow mobile rides in idaho's shore club lodge in winter](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravellite-shore-lodge-1607974267.jpg?resize=980:*)
The country around Shore Lodge, the historic lakefront resort two and a half hours from Boise, is rugged: the Salmon River Mountains, glacial lakes, and 2,600 skiable acres. But the area’s real bragging rights are its 500 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, on which the resort organizes private daylong, 30-mile backcountry adventures. Go at a leisurely pace to spot elk and moose—or chase your guide, kicking up snow at 50 mph. The endpoint: rustic Burgdorf Hot Springs, which has three mineral-rich pools that have been lowering blood pressure since 1870. TO BOOK : Shore Lodge
Road trip to a blue bayou in Louisiana
![louisiana's maison madeleine bb, in cajun country, louisiana's maison madeleine bb, in cajun country,](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravellite-maison-madeleine-1607976800.jpg?resize=980:*)
Few places in the U.S. feel as “abroad” as Acadiana, where french toast is called pain perdu, alligators and egrets lurk and flit, and Cajun music is on surround sound. The road trip specialist All Roads North will curate a six-day itinerary that includes: a stay on the shores of Lake Martin at the Maison Madeleine , a gorgeously atmospheric two-bedroom Cajun home from the 1840s that’s now a B&B where James Beard–nominated chefs come to cook; kayak tours of the mazelike waterways of the vast Atchafalaya Basin; seaplane excursions; and visits to Breaux Bridge, New Iberia, and Jefferson Island, the heartland of the Cajun way of life. End, if you wish, in New Orleans, with a stay at the new Chloe , a 14-room Queen Anne–style mansion turned hotel. TO BOOK : Sam Highley, [email protected]
Spy golden eagles in flight in Montana
![The Green O retreat at Montana's Resort at Paws Up. montana's resort at paws up opens the green o, an adults only retreat](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravellite-green-o-1607977539.jpg?resize=980:*)
The much delayed Green O , the adults-only sister retreat of the Resort at Paws Up, the pioneering glamping getaway, opens in June on the secluded southern edge of the 37,000-acre Paws Up property. The 12 stand-alone glass-and-wood cabins are architecturally stunning (no Western clichés here), but the real draw is the endless opportunities for tranquil outdoor pursuits. Equestrians can join cattle drives or explore pine-shaded trails. Anglers have the Blackfoot, Bitterroot, and Missouri rivers to cast in. And hot air balloon flights double as wildlife safaris; from the air you might spot golden eagles soaring in the distance or a herd of elk in a meadow below.

Explore from the chicest caravan park ever—in Oregon
![bay point landing in oregon is a chic twist on the traditional caravan park bay point landing in oregon is a chic twist on the traditional caravan park](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravellite-bay-point-landing-1607978220.jpg?resize=980:*)
Set on 103 acres along Oregon’s wildest stretch of coast, Bay Point Landing is a fashionable New Nordic twist on the traditional caravan park. Every sleek, modern prefab cabin (all with patios and private firepits), tricked-out Airstream, and RV site has dramatic views of Coos Bay. The mild climate makes for year-round adventures: Fall brings consistent surf to Bastendorff Beach, just up the road; in winter you can whale-watch, harvest clams, or cast for steelhead; in spring and summer, take a day trip to the dunes or explore the old-growth forest of Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area. Contemplating one of those Goss RVs that have been all the rage (some have interiors rivaling suites at the Four Seasons)? This is the place to park it. TO BOOK : Bay Point Landing
PART 2: ACTIVE ADVENTURES (when physical activities matter but stunning scenery is a must)
Wake up in a wonderland in the Southwest
![Camping with Under Canvas in the national parks of the Southwest United States. camping in the national parks of the southwest with under canvas](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravelactive-under-canvas-1607979567.jpg?resize=980:*)
The only way to spend the night in the magically colored and contoured national parks of the Southwestern U.S. used to be basic DIY camping. No longer. When the pioneering glamping company Under Canvas opens its newest camp in April—on the edge of Canyon Rim Plateau in Lake Powell–Grand Staircase, on 220 acres of red, orange, and yellow land—you’ll be able to book a circuit that also includes camps in the Grand Canyon, Moab, and Zion parks. The stylish tents sleep up to seven, have hot water and daily housekeeping, and include the services of a personal “adventure concierge,” who will arrange every imaginable activity, including rugged Jeep tours, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and more.

Bike like you're in Burgundy—on the East Coast
![Small group biking trips through Maine, Vermont, and the Hudson Valley with DuVine Cycling & Adventure Co. biking trips with duvine cycling adventure co in maine, vermont, and new york](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravelactive-duvine-cycling-adventure-1607980742.jpg?resize=980:*)
DuVine Cycling & Adventure Co . has a loyal following among discerning cyclists. New trips in Vermont, Maine, and New York have been planned with the same attention to detail as the signature small group DuVine itineraries in Burgundy and Tuscany. The four-day Hudson Valley trip, for example, includes overnights at Troutbeck, an estate that hosted Hemingway and Thoreau; farm-to-table meals; artisanal whiskey tastings; and rides ranging from 20 to 48 miles a day.

Paddleboard the fjords in Alaska
![Stand-up paddle boarding on Tutka Bay, Alaska, with Within the Wild. outdoor activities in alaska with within the wild, paddle boarding, tutka bay](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravelactive-within-the-wild-01-1608054785.jpg?resize=980:*)
The Within the Wild company is a rare thing, two remote Alaska lodges owned by one of the state’s most revered backcountry guides, Carl Dixon, who also happens to be married to an award-winning chef. Winterlake lies at the entrance to the Alaska Range, and Tutka Bay comprises six cabins on a private cove outside Homer, open from May to September. Big nature activities abound at both. Winterlake has a new High Mountain Camp, a base for ridgeline and downhill glacier biking. Tutka Bay launched a new helicopter daytrip to the outer coast of the Gulf of Alaska for bear viewing by boat and standup paddleboarding on the fjords. No worries if you work up an appetite: Three-course meals back at the lodge might feature reindeer tenderloin with blueberry gastrique or black cod. TO BOOK : Kirsten Dixon, [email protected]
Test drive a base camp for type A's in Rhode Island
![Rhode Island's Preserve Sporting Club & Residences has endless sporty activities. rhode island's preserve sporting club residences, managed by relais chateaux's ocean house](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravelactive-preserve-sporting-club-residences-1608057027.jpg?resize=980:*)
Just three hours by car from New York City, the five-month-old Preserve Sporting Club & Residences in Richmond has 500 acres of fields, wetlands, and rolling hills, with 100 miles of woodland trails for hiking, mountain biking, and ATVing. When they’re covered in snow, they can be explored by snowshoe, snowmobile, or Nordic ski. Fishing fanatics can cast for trout in 10 on-site ponds; there are also a zipline, four tennis courts, and an 18-hole golf course. The team behind Relais & Châteaux’s Ocean House manages the property (the service is five-star), and there’s not a whiff of stuffy country club dining: Private meals can be served in tents, Hobbit-esque cottages, or a treehouse.

Hike amid pueblo ruins in New Mexico
![Hot Air ballooning and other adventures in New Mexico with Extraordinary Journeys. outdoor adventures in new mexico with extraordinary journeys, staying in auberge resorts' bishop's lodge and ted turner's vermejo ranch](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/extraordinary-journeys-1608316367.jpg?crop=0.900xw:0.841xh;0.0432xw,0.143xh&resize=980:*)
The outfitter Extraordinary Journeys built its reputation on safaris in Africa, pivoting to U.S. adventures during the pandemic. All trips are custom, but New Mexico–born co-owner Marcia Gordon especially recommends: 1) Hiking among the Puebloan archaeological ruins in Bandelier National Monument, either along the mellow 1.4-mile Main Loop, dotted with sites, or the 12-mile roundtrip to the Yapashi Pueblo, which has some arduous ascents from pine-shaded canyons; 2) Experiencing the Rio Grande Gorge, New Mexico’s answer to the Grand Canyon, either from a hot air balloon or by riding its class III rapids. Lodgings include luxe tents in dark sky–designated Chaco Canyon (as “roughing it” as Gordon’s trips get), Santa Fe’s landmark Bishop’s Lodge (reopening in April after a complete makeover), and Ted Turner’s 550,000-acre Vermejo ranch , where you can hike, mountain bike, and ride horses.

PART 3: CHALLENGING ADVENTURES (when you want off the grid and out of your comfort zone)
Own the great unknown in Alaska
![Explore Alaska's wilderness with Ultima Thule Lodge explore alaska's wilderness with ultima thule lodge, which has a fleet of bush planes and pilots](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravelchallenging-ultimate-thule-lodge-1608058386.jpg?crop=1xw:0.9907407407407407xh;center,top&resize=980:*)
Ancient Greeks called the realm beyond the northern bounds of their maps Ultima Thule. Experiencing that terra incognita privately is the promise of Ultima Thule Lodge . Its five cabins are 100 miles from the closest road and have Wrangell–St. Elias National Park as a 13.2 million–acre back yard. Guests have daily access to a fleet of bush planes and pilots—i.e., a pass to a wilderness the size of Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Switzerland combined. Not enough? After a few nights at the lodge, set off in a Cessna 185 to any national park in the state. Kayak on alpine lakes, hike volcanoes, or observe polar bears in the Arctic, staying along the way in private homes, villages, and old-fashioned tents—true adventure on an Alaskan scale.

Redefine road warrior in Tennessee
![Off-road driving in a Lexus at Tennessee's Blackberry Mountain off road driving in a lexus at tennessee's new wellness spot, blackberry mountain, sister property of famed blackberry farm](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravelchallenging-blackberry-mountain-1608059290.jpg?resize=980:*)
The cabins may be stocked with kombucha, and the spa offers crystal reiki, but don’t for a second think Blackberry Mountain is just another woo-woo wellness resort. The sister property of celebrated culinary destination Blackberry Farm, situated on 5,200 acres of Smoky Mountain beauty, has some seriously pulse-raising activities. The off-road driving circuit is designed to hone your reflexes. A guide will instruct you in navigating seven challenges—including the log crawl, hill descent, and axle twist—and put you in a Lexus. Trust us, you will need a cocktail—afterward. TO BOOK : Lee Robinson, [email protected]
Feel all “out of Africa” in Utah
![The Southwest "safari" organized by tour operator Black Tomato includes stylish tents near the Colorado River in Utah.. black tomato's "safaris" in the southwest include stylish tent stays in utah, near the colorado river](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravelchallenging-black-tomato-02-1608060471.jpg?resize=980:*)
Tour operator Black Tomato excels in trips that let you get your hands dirty by day and sleep in style at night. The seven-day Southwest “safari” (with bush planes) aims to rival African exploits. An overnight at Sorrel River Ranch in Moab, amid red rock mesas, will transport you to Namibia; the class IV rapids on the Colorado River are a match for the Zambezi’s. The popup “blink tents” along the shore are fully staffed and accoutred with vintage trunks and Sferra linens. The trip ends with two nights at Amangiri’s Camp Sakira, which, except for wildlife, rivals anything in Kenya or Botswana. TO BOOK : [email protected]
Gallop for your supper in Oregon
![Minam River Lodge in Oregon is a perfect destinations for equestrians and other wilderness lovers. minam river lodge in oregon, riding trips, eagle cap wilderness adventures](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tcxtravelchallenging-minam-lodge-1608061146.jpg?resize=980:*)
Just getting to Minam River Lodge is an adventure. Set in the 360,000-acre Eagle Cap Wilderness, it’s accessible only by a half-day horseback ride, an 8.5-mile hike, or a charter flight. Skilled equestrians can make a multiday trip of it with Del Sol Outfitters , who will match you to a horse, set up a camp with a chef-run kitchen, and suggest rides to nearby alpine lakes and meadows. At the lodge, wilderness luxuries await: cabins with waterfall showers, Willamette Valley wines, and multicourse meals made from ingredients from the on-site greenhouse and smokehouse.

Play hard with water in Maui

The island’s north shore is a water sports paradise, home to the windsurfing hotspot Ho’okipa and the legendary surf break Jaws. The recent opening of Haiku House , a nine-room estate on 20 acres that once belonged to sugar magnate Henry Alexander Baldwin, finally gives visitors a luxe base close to the waves—plus access to some of Hawaii’s top athletes. Downwind paddleboard with world champion Connor Baxter, windsurf with former pro Kevin Pritchard, free-dive with five-time national record holder Kurt Chambers, or try Hawaii’s latest craze, wing foiling (on a board with an attached fin with wings), under the tutelage of Zane Schweitzer. While you acquire new skills, you’ll also pick up a truly local perspective. TO BOOK : Marilyn Clark, [email protected]
Summit a monster in Colorado

Hiking 14,000-foot peaks—14ers, locals call them—is a rite of passage in Colorado, which has 58 of them. But taking even the easiest route to the top requires planning and preparation. Hotel Jerome in Aspen has launched a three-day program to help guests bag the peak of their choosing. Mike Schneiter, a certified mountain guide, assisted by his daughter Selah, one of the youngest people ever to climb El Capitan, will put you through boot camp, train you on a via ferrata, and then lead your ascent. If you choose a mellower route, you can bring a naturalist and a gourmet picnic lunch. Supertechnical climbs require complete focus, but they can later be celebrated at the JBar, back at the Jerome.

Earn your turns—and experience the magnificent solitude of the backcountry—on an overnight skiing adventure in Grand Teton National Park. Yes, you’ll have to leave your cushy digs at the Caldera House , an eight-suite hotel in the heart of Jackson Hole Resort. But you’ll be rewarded with mind-boggling terrain. Caldera House will outfit you with gear, and an Exum Mountain Guide will lead you to Baldy Knoll Yurt, a fully stocked backcountry camp at an altitude of 8,800 feet, with access to glade skiing (between trees), open bowls, chutes, cliffs, and couloirs. Good luck. TO BOOK : calderahouse.com

North Cascades National Park, nicknamed the American Alps for its jagged peaks and 300-plus glaciers, offers as many adrenaline-fueled challenges as those Alps in Europe. The outfitter Embark Beyond ’s new customizable 14-day itineraries might include a guided three-day, 23-mile trek over Cascade Pass, camping old-school along the way; or a seaplane flight to fjordlike Ross Lake, the park’s crown jewel, for four days of kayaking, camping, and hiking up Desolation Peak (at some serious elevation). Stay at the adults-only riverfront Post Hotel & Spa in the Bavarian-themed village of Leavenworth, or in a well-appointed private cabin at Mountain Home Lodge, where you can tackle the 17-mile Enchantments trail as well as whitewater. Whatever you do, you’ll feel like a contestant on The Amazing Race . TO BOOK : Josh Geller, [email protected]

The river, of course, was the star, but the trip was made excellent due to the company organization and the three guides that knocked it out of the canyons when it came to professionalism, work ethic and great attitude.

SKOWHEGAN — Beer lovers from around the country are expected to head to Skowhegan on Saturday for the town’s annual Labor Day weekend brew festival.
The Skowhegan Craft Brew Festival is set to feature more than 100 Maine-made craft beers, wines, ciders and spirits from 24 beverage producers, along with local food vendors and four musical acts, according to an announcement from the event’s organizer, the nonprofit organization Main Street Skowhegan.
The festival, which began in 2016, is expected to draw people from Maine, 13 other states and Canada, according to the announcement. So far, people from as far away from Texas, Arizona and Nevada have bought tickets, the organization said.
“We’re thrilled to draw people from near and far to Skowhegan for our annual brew festival,” Kristina Cannon, president and CEO of Main Street Skowhegan, said in the statement. “Not only do events showcase our growing community and all that we have to offer visitors, but they also bring people to town who spend money at our locally owned businesses. Brew fest, in particular, brings people back again and again to our community.”

Tickets are required to attend the brew festival, and can be purchased online at skowhegancraftbrewfest.com . A $50 general admission ticket includes unlimited beverage samples from 3 to 7 p.m. and a souvenir tasting glass. “Designated driver” tickets for those who do not wish to drink alcohol are $10.
Ticket prices increase by $5 the day of the festival, so organizers suggest buying tickets by 6 p.m. Friday. Advertisement
A “VIP hour” at 2 p.m., featuring free food samples, other goodies and live entertainment, is sold out.
The brew festival is to be held along the Kennebec River in downtown Skowhegan, where the event moved last year from its previous location on Water Street .
Skowhegan Craft Brew Festival draws hundreds of beer drinkers to new location
Organizers said last year that the move was intended to help promote ongoing economic revitalization efforts along the town’s waterfront, including the planned River Park. Other events, such as the annual River Fest in August , are intended to achieve that goal, too.
With a contractor on board and the permitting process in its final stages, construction of the in-river whitewater park portion of the overall development is expected to begin in spring 2025 , Cannon said recently.
Construction of Skowhegan whitewater River Park delayed until 2025
Main Street Skowhegan uses proceeds from the brew festival to support its ongoing economic development efforts, according to organizers. The event is sponsored by more than a dozen local businesses and organizations.
The festival is expected to take place no matter the weather. As of Thursday, the National Weather Service was predicting mostly cloudy skies in Skowhegan on Saturday, with high temperatures in the mid-70s, and a 50% chance of rain showers after 2 p.m.
