Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the White Mountains, the Lakes Region of Maine earns its name from the more than 50 lakes scattered among green rolling hills near Sebago Lake, less than half an hour northwest of Portland.

Many people have a coastal image when thinking about Maine, but the coast is only part of what Maine has to offer its residents and guests. The interior of Maine, with its two lane highways and quaint villages, is often overlooked. Here you will find dozens of parks, recreation areas, nature preserves, trails, and unique natural sites filling Maine's interior, making it a natural treasure. It also has a wealth of history since settlements in Maine date back to the origins of the country.

The region boasts many treasures for the travelers in search of Maine's best kept secret. From the serenity of the Saco River and picturesque Hemlock Covered Bridge to the excitement of Shawnee Peak on Pleasant Mountain -- New England's largest night downhill skiing facility -- and the Interstate Snowmobile Trail System, every visitor will find that the regions magical Mountains and Lakes offer more than you can imagine.

Many visitors come to the area to enjoy the water: to swim, fish, boat, water ski, windsurf, canoe, kayak, and parasail; and to camp, hike, collect minerals, and golf. Hikers and outdoor adventurers will delight in the numerous trails and scenic areas throughout the region. Pleasant and Sabbatus Mountains and the peaks of Evan's Notch are some of the area's finest.

Loon Run is beautifully situated on serene Notched Pond, on the edge of Raymond, Maine. Raymond was named after Captain William Raymond who was granted the land in this area for his help of Sir William Phipps, Canadian expedition. Incorporated in 1803, Raymond is known as the Home of Landlocked Salmon for the species of fish found in the local lake. This area is one of divine beauty and plenty of outdoor activities for people of all ages.
