From the tree-lined historic village common in downtown Bethel to the majestic mountaintop views of nearby Grafton Notch State Park and the White Mountain National Forest, there is a special feeling in Bethel. Nestled along the banks of the beautiful Androscoggin River, surrounded by Maine's Appalachian Mountains, Bethel has welcomed visitors for more than two hundred years! Once the destination of the wealthy from New York and Boston who traveled via train to spend the entire summer, Bethel has become one of New England's premier year-round vacation spots for folks from around the globe.

Bethel is truly a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy places, to enjoy nature at its fullest, breathe fresh mountain air, and enjoy a stroll through our historic village and National Historic District. There is something for everyone as each season unfolds dramatically. The winter whites melt into some of the world's most beautiful spring wildflowers including fields and of purple, pink and blue lupine interspersed with the greenest pastures dotted with yellow dandelions. The summer's lush greens and blues transform into the bold reds, oranges, and yellows of New England's most spectacular fall foliage. The area offers a wide array of activities, a variety of accommodations ranging from luxurious to rustic, shopping in specialty stores featuring Maine gems, Maine-made gifts and crafts and other unique items, and an abundant choice of dining from lobster to pizza!
