Best Swimming Holes From Rangeley

Rangeley works best when you split the day between lake swims and short waterfall detours. That keeps the route flexible, and it matches the way people actually use this part of western Maine in summer.

Start with the map, then open each guide for parking, cold-water notes, and the small stuff that matters when you are deciding between a lake beach and one more waterfall stop. For a broader western Maine loop, see waterfalls and swimming holes near Rangeley.
