Outdoors in Augusta

Spring is beautiful here in Augusta, Maine, and throughout the Kennebec Valley. Our real estate agents know that making the most of the change of seasons is important! Getting outside for some fresh air will give you opportunities to see Augusta's natural beauty at its finest, and there are plenty of options.

Augusta homes for sale are at the crossroads of a large number of municipal, state, and national parks. In fact, the Augusta park system is well known for being organized, efficient, and helpful within the community. When you choose a local park for a walk, jog, birding, or anything else, you'll see how friendly and well kept it is!

Let's take a look at just a few of the many Augusta outdoor spaces to explore this spring:

  • Hatchet House – 2 Stephen King Drive, Augusta, ME 04330
    Hatchet House is the only place to go in Augusta for axe throwing. Competitive axe throwing has a long history and has risen in popularity in many places around the world, from Scotland to the U.S. Although Hatchet House itself is an enclosed gym, many of the axe-throwing competitions and events held by the organization take place in a local park with fresh air and unspoiled natural surroundings. It's a wonderful twist on getting some exercise.

  • Augusta Farmers' Market at Mill Park – 1 Water Street, Augusta, ME 04330
    Augusta Farmers' Market at Mill Park is the biggest and most frequent farmers' market in the Augusta area. With a history that dates back decades, it has been taking place in conveniently located Mill Park for years. A seasonal schedule means that you can always find the best in fresh produce and farm goods, such as candles, honey, soap, and herbs. When the weather is cold, the market takes place at the nearby Buker Center.

  • Bond Brook Recreation Area – See Website for Location Information Near Augusta, ME
    Bond Brook Recreation Area sprawls across nearly 300 acres and is one of the leading places in Maine for all kinds of birding activities. You can explore this unusual habitat to encounter gorgeous native species such as prairie warblers and field sparrows. Owned and managed by the City of Augusta, Bond Brook also includes a range of facilities for walking, biking, and even cross-country skiing during the season.

  • Viles Arboretum – 153 Hospital Street, Augusta, ME 04330
    Viles Arboretum is an independent nonprofit established back in 1982 to administer 224 acres of wooded land that showcases not only the best of Augusta but trees from all around the world. There are miles of trails for a personalized journey through the wonderful wooded world, as well as dozens of live events each and every month. Viles Arboretum welcomes guests throughout the year, but it is always at its peak in spring.
