Get Outdoors and Enjoy Maine’s Natural Wonders
September 28-30, 2012
Remember the first time as a kid when you went target shooting, hunting, fishing, hiking, camping or boating with your family? The woods were alive, the fish were jumping, and there were so many things to see and learn.
You probably have vivid memories outdoors with your dad, uncle or brother – even more vivid than how many targets you hit, the wildlife you saw or the fish you caught, and certainly more vivid than the last TV show you watched.
Our need for outdoor activities with family and friends is more important than ever.
The Great Maine Outdoor Weekend is a series of events presented by outdoor organizations and businesses from all across Maine to celebrate the how, where, and what of being active outdoors in Maine. The goal is to connect friends and neighbors with the natural world, to promote fun, physical activity, and good health.
More than 70 introductory activities are planned throughout the entire state of Maine, covering all counties. There are chances to canoe, camp, bird-watch, kayak, bike and take part in easy hikes and fun family activities. Many activities are free or low cost.
