And then there’s the moose watching. Bring your camera! Not only is the countryside picturesque, but the wildlife is abundant. It’s not uncommon to see moose, deer, black bears and other wildlife. We highly recommend you head toward the Height of Land for a moose watch at dawn or dusk, but really, you might see one anywhere at any time.
Stretching from Partridge Peak to Record Hill and Flathead Mountain is the Record Hill Wind Farm. Twenty-two turbines are located along the four-mile ridgeline.
Both towns are small, but Rumford is only ten miles away, where you’ll find the amenities you may need. Roxbury and Byron are located about halfway between Bethel and the Rangeley Lakes Region.
