Besides outlet shipping, there are many things to keep you busy in town. From your Freeport vacation rental, you can venture out to the Desert of Maine, a natural and surreal phenomenon of exposed glacial silt created after overgrazing and lack of crop rotation during the 19th century. At the attraction, you can visit the sand and farm museum. The nearby Blueberry Pond Observatory offers nightly guided tours giving visitors the opportunity to use the powerful telescope which points up at the Orion Nebula, Milky Way, and the Andromeda galaxy.
Using a Freeport vacation rental as a base, you can get stuck into all kinds of outdoor activities near the picturesque harbor town. In the Bradbury Mountain State Park, you can spend a day hiking or mountain biking along the winding trails, stopping for picnics in the scenic woodlands. In the winter, the park gets covered in glistening powdery snow and can be explored on snowmobiles or with snow shoes. If you enjoy fishing, you can cast your line into the rivers around Freeport.

The town is a year-round destination with Freeport vacation rentals available throughout each season. For Maine, it has a relatively mild climate. Spring is characterized by warm and sunny days best spent hiking in the two nearby state parks or along the coast. The temperature soars during the summer, but the sea breeze cools down visitors and opens up opportunities for water sports in the bay. The heat begins to subside throughout fall before the landscape is carpeted with a blanket of snow during the winter months.
Nearby, the sprawling Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park has a variety of ecosystems including a rocky coastline, salt marsh estuary, and dense, atmospheric forests. During spring, the meadows and woods are awash with pretty mayflowers and lady slippers. It's easily accessible from your Freeport vacation rental and the park runs guided tours throughout the year. One of the biggest draws is the opportunity to see majestic ospreys nesting on Googins Island overlooking the White Pines Trail. Just remember to bring your binoculars.
