Column: Bethel Inn a good basecamp for so many outdoor activities

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • February 5, 2023

The beautiful Bethel Inn has anchored the south end of the town common in the heart of Bethel’s historic district since 1913, where it has been welcoming guests from near and far with a host of comfortable rooms, fine dining and casual pub fare, plus championship golf on 18 holes in summer, and miles of Nordic skiing right outside the back door in winter. Inland Woods + Trails, a Bethel-based nonprofit, manages the winter recreation facilities at the Bethel Inn Resort. Known as the Bethel Village Trail System, enthusiasts will find close to 15 miles of Nordic ski trails and a little more than 9 miles of trails for snowshoeing and fat tire biking through the valley of Mill Brook and on the slopes of Paradise Hill and Grover Hill. ~ Carey Kish
