Seasonal Outdoor Recreation
in the Greater LA Region
Adventure for every season in and around Lewiston Auburn, Maine
In the Greater LA Region, the changing seasons aren’t just a backdrop—they’re an invitation. Each part of the year brings a new reason to head outdoors, explore fresh landscapes, and embrace the best that Maine has to offer. Whether you’re here for snowy adventures, sunny hikes, or fall foliage drives, you’ll find that LA’s natural beauty shows up in every season. 
SPRING:
Trails, Blooms & River Views
As the snow melts and the trees begin to bud, the region comes to life. Enjoy early hikes along the Androscoggin Riverwalk, spot native wildflowers in local parks, or hop on a bike and explore multi-use trails throughout Lewiston and Auburn. Spring is also a great time to paddle the Androscoggin River or try a round of disc golf before the summer crowds arrive.
Sunshine & Water Fun
Summer in LA is packed with energy and outdoor activity. Paddleboard or kayak the calm stretches of the river, cool off at Range Pond State Park or explore local swimming holes and fishing spots. Hit the trails, enjoy a round at one of the region’s golf courses, or plan a picnic with a view. Summer is also festival season, so plan your outdoor fun around events featuring music, art, food, and culture.
FALL:
Foliage, Harvests & Scenic Drives
There’s no better time to explore the outdoors than during a Maine fall. Wander through vibrant foliage-lined trails, visit apple orchards and pumpkin patches, or take a scenic drive along Route 26—one of the best leaf-peeping corridors in the region. Cool temps make fall a favorite season for hiking, biking, and farmstand exploring.
WINTER:
Snowy Escapes & Cozy Trails
When the snow falls, LA turns into a cold-weather playground. Explore groomed ski and snowshoe trails, sled with the kids at ****, or bundle up for a brisk winter walk along the Riverwalk. Local hills and parks offer fun for snow lovers of all ages—without the drive to the mountains.
And when it’s time to warm up? LA’s breweries, cafés, and tasting rooms are perfect spots to cozy up after your outdoor adventure.
