Kennebec County, Maine

Kennebec Location Map Maine

Kennebec County sits in the middle of Maine, stretching from the state’s capital Augusta to the shores of beautiful lakes.

The Kennebec River cuts through the heart of the county, once a superhighway for Native Americans and early settlers. How about now? It’s a paradise for kayakers and fishing.

Locals take pride in their maple syrup and apple orchards. If you’re into outdoor adventures, this is your playground… hiking, camping, and wildlife watching are all on the menu. It’s not flashy, but that’s the charm.
