For cyclists, it's hard to imagine a place more ripe for exploration than Maine. With countless trails and endless meandering back roads, our real estate agents think it's a truly extraordinary landscape to pedal through.

The 35th Annual Trek Across Maine, coming up this June, puts that landscape front and center. Traversing the Kennebec Valley and passing through the capital city of Augusta, Trek Across Maine offers bicycle enthusiasts of all stripes an opportunity to see just what makes Maine so special. 

Bike for a Cause

Now in its 35th year, Trek Across Maine is a three-day cycling event, with multiple route options that highlight the spectacular beauty of the Kennebec Valley. It's also the largest fundraiser in the nation for the American Lung Association and has raised more than $24 million in the years since the event started. 

More than 2,000 cyclists and 750 volunteers are expected to participate in this year's event, which takes place on June 14-16. Riders start and finish in Brunswick, Maine, and have three options: a 56-mile one-day route, a 102-mile two-day route, and a spectacular 180-mile full route over three days. Those who choose to bike the two- and three-day versions of the event will have overnight accommodations provided at Bates College in Lewiston and Colby College in Waterville.

There are few things as breathtaking as autumn in Maine. Home to over 17 million acres of forest, the state holds the distinction of having more tree-covered land than any other state in America. 

Although the peak viewing season varies from year-to-year depending on the weather, those visiting Maine between the last week of September and the third week of October are sure to be wowed by the gorgeous red, gold, and purple hues surrounding them.

One of the most well-known areas to view the fall foliage is Kennebec Valley. With almost 5,000 square miles of wooded area, the valley stretches North to South across much of the state, beginning at the Capitol city of Augusta and ending in the Canadian province of Quebec. Although almost every stretch of the valley offers beautiful views of the changing leaves, some locations are stunning. Our REALTORS® are here to share five of the best places in Kennebec Valley to this year's fall colors.
