Why the Owner Chose Raymond
After years of vacationing on the Cape, we decided to try something more secluded, serene and laid back. Crescent Lake in Raymond, Maine has provided our family with many enjoyable summer months away from the madding crowd.
Walk out our access road to Rt 85 travel a short distance to the start of great hiking trail up Rattlesnake Mountain... Note: There are no posinous snakes in the State of Maine
Land locked salmon hang out in this deep hole in the summer time. Good luck! This Lake has an annual bass tournament.
Trailhead located off Conesca Rd. I first climb this trail with a group of Webelow Scouts. I beleive that the Eagle lives in the high cliffs.
Take RT 85 North, left on RT 11, then left on Quaker Ridge Rd. To the entrance of the Ridge Road. Drive your car to the top of Quaker Ridge. Bring your picnic basket and enjoy the regions best viewin
This is the start of the Tenny River. Great boat ride, canoe or kayak down the Tenny River to Panther Pond. this is a wonderful Nature Run!
Several attractions here. Seaplane site seeing flights. Songo River Queen Stern Wheeler. Several Restaurants.

The North and South Shore Massachusetts Crew This was one of our first vacation getaways in a cold place. But we must say it was quite peaceful, warm and cheerful time here with family and friends. We would strongly recomment this spot to others for a great time away! This place if we had to rate it would be 4 star! We had a wonderful time snow boarding, lots of eating, movie watching and perhaps who knows- someone might have even started or expanded their family members. * This was our adult getaway* The service we received from management was excellent. Whenever we had any issue it was answered right away. We would do this again! Thanks so much for a great place. Keep up the good work and service! Marvia Murrell, Family and Friends
