Height of the Land

Visitors looking for the best views in Maine should venture to Height of the Land just beside Route 17 overlooking Rangeley Lakes. The Rangeley Lakes National Scenic Byway has some of the most spectacular views of the lakes in all of Maine, and there is plenty of parking for travelers who wish to pause and have a look. Visitors can take a little stroll or walk on conservation properties that are close to the viewing spot.

The Height of Land offers you a wide-ranging view of the huge Rangeley Lakes region and the mountains beyond its perch along Route 17 in western Maine. The Height is improved by expanded parking and viewing areas. People who wish to take in the vista no longer have to put themselves in danger by stopping at an inadequate pull-off.

In all seasons, this breathtaking place is stunning. It's the perfect spot to see spring's lupines, summer's lush vegetation, fall's foliage, and winter's enchanted snowscapes.

Best time to visit: between February and April or between August and October
