Monson Collective

Monson, nestled in the Highlands of Maine, has something for everyone. Enjoy the lake throughout
the year—swim, boat, or fish in the warmer months, and snowmobile, cross-country ski, or ice fish
when the snow falls. Indulge in fine cuisine at The Quarry or enjoy casual pub fare at The Lakeshore House.

Stay in town at one of the cozy lodging options and explore local treasures like Lily
Cat Antiques and Monson Pottery. Immerse yourself in the local art scene at
the Hebron Gallery and The Monson Arts Gallery. Stop at the Appalachian Trail
Visitor Center to prepare for your hike in the 100 Mile Wilderness. Enjoy the
trails at A Fierce Chase Cross Country Ski Area and unwind at Rest Day Sauna.
