Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway plan update underway

TURNER PUBLISHING • December 6, 2020

The corridor management plan for the Rangeley Lakes National Scenic Byway is being updated, and public input is being sought by the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust and Scenic Byway Council. The byway comprises 52 miles on routes 4 and 17, highlighting the scenic, natural, cultural, historic, archaeological and recreational values of the route, which stretches from Rumford, through the Rangeley region, to Madrid. Since that time millions of dollars have been invested in enhancements to the byway and the Rangeley community, including new public restrooms in Rangeley and Oquossoc villages, new scenic overlooks at Height of Land and Whip Willow Farm, more than 40 interpretive signs, and more.
