If you don’t go ‘up to camp’ for the holiday weekend, join MYA on Sunday for a fab adventure in Dover-Foxcroft and beyond. We’ll begin with waffles for breakfast then head out to hike at Peaks-Kenny State Park, pause for vegetarian snacks, and if adventurers want to continue on, we’ll stop by Bissell Brothers Three Rivers brewery in Milo…
This will be MYA’s first time partaking in the delicious breakfast offered up at Peace, Love & Waffles and is happy to purchase your eats if they’re vegetarian, if not, no worries, if it’s meat you want, feel free. They have quite a selection of goodness on the menu. Settling into carpooling post fooding to slowly digest, we’ll head 20 minutes north to Peaks-Kenny State Park.
On the shores of Sebec Lake the state park is situated offering up visitors a peaceful, wooded setting for hiking, swimming (maybe?! bring your suit!) and picnicking. In the 839-acre park in the Central Maine Highlands, we’ll take in an area renowned for its natural beauty. Adventurers have options within the 10 mile trail network, the Cove Trail (0.7 miles) is a definite easy start leaving from the beach picnic area with a short loop through the woods. Birch Mountain Ledge Trail (2.5 miles roundtrip, about an hour & 15 min) can be put in the mix winding through mature forest to ledges atop Birch Mountain and/or Brown's Point Trail (5.5-mile roundtrip, 2 hours or so) with a more challenging hike through varied forested terrain. It’s nice to have options, we’ll see what the day has in store for us!
