Dexter is located along Moosehead Trail (Route 7) in the

southwestern portion of Penobscot County, about 30 miles northwest of Bangor. Moosehead Trail takes travelers from Interstate 95 in Newport north toward Dover-Foxcroft and the Moosehead Lake Region and passes through the heart of Dexter’s commercial and recreational districts. Lake Wassookeag, a 1,062 acre lake, named by the Penobscot Indians for “shining water,” borders Dexter’s busy business district. The lake is known for its supply of landlocked salmon, trout and togue, and is a favorite year round fishing spot. Most of the lake is navigable by boat, with the addition of a new boat launch to the Little Wassookeag side of the lake in 2000. The lake also provides the town’s water supply and is subject to several town ordinances to protect water quality. Dexter also offers a municipal 9-hole golf course, driving range, public beach, campgrounds, picnic areas and a small regional airport. Dexter is the original home and namesake of the world famous Dexter Shoe Company. The town is actively involved in economic development focusing on future opportunities for Dexter’s progressive and skilled workforce.

Exeter is an agricultural community bordering Sebasti-

cook Valley in the upper reaches of the Kenduskeag Valley. Exeter proudly boasts having more cows than people!

Pittsfield Founded in the early nineteenth century, Pittsfield has a history as a mill town but has since evolved into a diversified industrial center while maintaining a quiet, engaging small town environment for its residents. Throughout Pittsfield, you will find carefully restored Victorian homes, craftsmen capes, and farmhouses, as well as contemporary residences in family-friendly neighborhoods. Pittsfield has been a commercial and industrial center in central Maine. Currently home to precision manufacturing, church vestments manufacturing, engineering and construction firms, wood products manufacturing, applied value wood products and much more. The busy Pittsfield Industrial Park is an asset for the town’s continuing focus on economic development. For the residents of Pittsfield, many who settle here for its close proximity and easy commute to Bangor, Waterville, Augusta and Skowhegan, the town has much to offer. The busy downtown offers shopping, restaurants, parks, a historic depot museum, a community theater, a small municipal airport and an active public library. For the outdoor enthusiast, Pittsfield provides athletic fields, tennis courts, a public pool, a nine-hole golf course, walking and bicycling trails, ATV and snowmobile trails, the Pinnacle Ski Park, access to the Sebasticook River for boating, kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Pittsfield’s central location allows residents to enjoy day trips the coast, the mountains and some of Maine’s bigger cities.

Come to the Valley for Recreation!

The Chamber promotes our diverse recreational opportunities emphasizing the fact that one can enjoy the real Maine without the crowds and traffic……snowmobile, snowshoe, biking, hiking & ATV trails, lakes of all sizes for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, boating, f ishing… or any kind of activity you could want. Bird watching and wildlife viewing are also attractions. Come to the valley and choose your fun!! In order to promote our unique opportunities in the Valley for tourism – quiet recreation and cultural/historic assets - we need to market them and collaborate with others to obtain opportunities and funding sources. In mid-2013, the Chamber’s Strategic Planning Committee held forums with interested parties to brainstorm on how to encourage more business in our area by promoting Recreation, Retirement & Relocation (RRR). The first project to come out of this focus is to develop a recreational trail map. The Chamber teamed up with HealthySV which took the lead as this project fit within their work plan. GPS training sessions were held for community volunteers who would document the locations of the trails. To date, several towns in the Valley have participated. As Pittsfield completed the trail locations first, their trail map is near completion. Each completed town trail map will be posted on the websites of the Chamber, HealthySV and the participating town. The more that we can develop and enhance our marketing campaign to bring more people to the valley for recreational purposes, the more we can support our businesses and communities. Check www.ourchamber.org for project updates.

St. Albans

is nestled in a valley with a lake and mountains as a photogenic backdrop. The St. Albans Union Church marks the village center.

The town is both a lakeside and farming community. Located between the mountains and Big Indian and Great Moose Lake, St. Albans is an outdoor recreational destination, summer and winter. Public access is available to Big Indian Lake via the Town Landing Road off Route 23. A small park has been established at the lake’s outlet, close to the general store and town hall. The town’s business is conducted from an historic town hall, meticulously restored in recent years to an earlier splendor. Regular community suppers are often held at the historic Grange Hall on the same street. Townspeople celebrate their surroundings annually with Summerfest, “from the mountains to the lakes”… featuring a parade, community meals, a play and games and activities for all ages.

today much as it did in the 1800s offering goods, services, and conveniences to residents and travelers. The former Plymouth Grange Hall is the site of traditional and spirited town meetings and has a meeting hall for community and family events. The town hall houses both the office of the town clerk, the selectmen and the U.S. Post Office. For outdoor enjoyment, Plymouth has two ponds within the town limits which offer fishing and boating. Plymouth Pond is a landmark on the Moosehead Trail (Route 7) while Gray Pond, also known as Round Pond, is another popular spot. Both seasonal and year round residents have made their homes along the shores of these ponds. Plymouth Town Office PO Box 130 Plymouth, ME 04969 (207) 257-4646

“In the Middle of Everything That’s Maine”

Stetson is a rural, residential and recreational haven on the edge of Sebasticook Valley. Home to many lifelong residents, it offers respite and recreation for commuters working in neighboring communities and for travelers and vacationers on the shores of Pleasant Lake. The community takes great pride in its local history and natural resources whether at the historic Stetson Meetinghouse, the fish population at Pleasant Lake or the varied wildlife in Goodwin Stream Marsh. The fish population is aided by a new fishway installed by the Maine Department of Marine Resources as part of a long-range effort to restore historic fisheries to the Sebasticook Valley via the Kennebec River. The 1843 meetinghouse is listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places and still houses town meetings. The building is rivaled only by the town’s new combined fire station and library, constructed in 1998.

East Branch of the Sebasticook RiverSebasticook Lake to Corinna To get to the launch site, travel north on Rt7 out of Newport. About 3 miles, turn right on the Old County Rd. Watch for wetlands crossing with parking area on the right. Stay to the right of the channel to access the stream north under the bridge; to the south is Sebasticook Lake. The water shallows but a canoe will pass through the water plants easily enough. The best route upstream is close to the right-hand side of the river, making several inlets accessible.

with lakes and streams with a variety of watercraft experiences available. Our larger lakes offer state-maintained boat launches, watch for the blue signs in Newport, Hartland, Dexter, and St. Albans. Several streams and ponds offer canoe and kayak access for a natural waterway experience complete with an abundance of waterfowl and wildlife, serene photographic opportunities and possible wet-foot portages in low water. Canoe Trails:

Alder Stream in Corinna. 2 hour trip north. From Corinna village, travel east on Rt 222 towards Newport. About ¾ of a mile turn left into a small town park . Enter the water on the right-hand side of the stony beach. The left side is muddy and rocky. It’s possible most of the season to pass under the Exeter Road, about a half hour into a trip north, with another 45 minutes paddling on the upper side before running out of depth for paddling.

Sebasticook River-Peltoma Ave, Pittsfield Find the launch site on Outer Peltoma Ave., off Route 100, in Pittsfield. About 3 miles to the Peltoma Bridge. The launch site and parking area are on the right before crossing the bridge. Leaving the launch, travel upstream under the bridge. A short distance upstream the East and West branches of the river meet. The right-hand channel leads to Detroit. The power lines mark the halfway point upstream. The stream narrows and requires a short portage to continue upstream. Little Indian Pond, 2 hours Travel north from St Albans village on Routes 23/152 for 1 mile. Bear right on the Grant Rd and after a mile and a half,

Corundel Pond, Corinna 2 hours Access to Corundel Pond was hidden for years, after a federal clean-up you can reach the pond, turn onto Corinna’s new Main St and pass the new gazebo. Just past the housing complex bear right and go to the end of the access road. Launch there and

At the end of the Ballard Rd, turn right on the Ripley Rd and in about 1/10 mile cross the big culvert and you’ll see Little Indian on the left and Big Indian on the right. Park on the left to launch and be sure to leave the launch path open for others by parking up next to the road after unloading.

Take your personal flotation device, water and snacks enough for the trip, a change of clothing, camera, binoculars, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Plan for weather changes. Enjoy.

DELMAR L. DOODY AWARD 2014 Winner: Judith Young This award is named in honor of Delmar L. Doody, a founder and champion of the Newport Chamber of Commerce, which later became the Sebasticook Valley Chamber of Commerce. In 1975, Del and his family moved to Newport from “The County”, where he had been involved in the local chamber of commerce. He was instrumental in gathering together a group of local business representatives, who formed the Newport Chamber of Commerce. He continued to champion the chamber and its beneﬁts while he was manager of Peoples Heritage Bank and after his retirement. Using his vision, the chamber has grown to serve twelve towns of Sebasticook Valley.

At the time of her death, she was working on becoming less judgmental and more accepting, more educated, more loving, more artistic, more serene, less hurried and less aﬀected by daily interruptions from “crazy makers.” Joyce died in 2003, close to the waters of Lake Sebasticook that had warmed her soul with peaceful contemplations amid her feathered friends of all varieties.
