Call me a forever procrastinator; a professional of the trade. So who would be surprised that I…read moreneed a gift for the birthday boy. Oh! And his birthday was THAT EVENING. After having rented from Paddle Maine 2 summers ago (which p.s their rental process is seamless, simple, well organized and inclusive-ie-they knew we would need paddles and PFD's too) my certain someone couldn't stop talking about how much fun he had. But the price of paddle boards, like all sports equipment, can start moderately high and quickly skyrocket. Back to the point...I needed a gift, I wanted it to be a great surprise. I stopped in to paddle Maine on a whim and I am so happy I did. I asked tentatively about this board we rented (thinking perhaps id get him a gift certificate). The man there was responsive, knowledgable and joy of joys suggested perhaps I'd like to buy an old rental. Yes! So he called their sister store (Seaspray) and had the two best boards pulled out for me. Before I left, he recommended a paddle (and appreciated my ability to pay a minimal price). Off I went. The boards were out front and waiting for me to choose. The young man there showed me how to change the fin and arranged for me to get it home (cause VW beetles don't exactly accommodate an 11' board on a whim!). They cleaned it up, gave it a good scrub and off I ran to figure out how one hides away an 11' long gift. Truly, they care about their product. They're friendly and happy to help. They're not judging the marginally informed nor the people in lower price brackets. If you want to rent an easy beginner board, but a fancy pro fiberglass board, need a new leash, wetsuit or wet bag...stop in to Paddle Maine or Sea Spray. You won't be disappointed.

The tent & cabin were both very clean & comfortable. The campground community bath house (when staying in a tent or cabin w/out bathroom) was also kept clean. The cabins could use a bit more privacy - all the huge, gorgeous, picturesque windows are problematic as (particularly in the winter) there's several other cabins w/full view into your windows. It would be nice if it was more of a private / woods view than looking into other cabins. That said, my daughter & I enjoyed our time and have been repeat customers. Would give it 4.5 stars (Yelp doesn't give half star option, but I needed to account for the lack of privacy in several of the cabins in the area we were in.). Overall a great option & we'll likely be back!

What to do in Freeport? VISIT THE DESERT!…read more This has been on my list for years and it did not disappoint. I kinda found it odd to pay $21 to explore the dunes but here's what we got for the price: - unlimited train rides - Ability to wander the desert - Executed their scavenger hunt - the kids rode a massive slide (unlimited) - we explored a fair/troll maze - dug for fossils - visited an old gas station - walked through an old home - unique playground This place isn't just the desert (and I don't mean the mini golf.) It's a little hidden wonder that offer families things to do. My kids (4 and 13) were fully immersed in the experience. The oldest was keeping the youngest involved in the scavenger hunt which he loved looking for the 'red' guy. The hands on portions fully captivated them. I was worried the walking might be a lot for the little guy but he didn't complain not once. It was explorative and interesting. Keep in mind, on hot days I bet you feel it! Bring sunblock, wear hats, closed toed shoes are best and water. Also, the big blue slide in the rear of the desert shoots little ones out like a cannon! I thought he broke his arm but he was ok! You've been warned.

The Androscoggin Riverwalk is a good size walk and is well lit for those who prefer to walk late at night, especially if you work all day. You can access it from several points including adjacent to TD Bank, at Great Falls Plaza area, across the street by Grittys and down by the two parks along Main Street. The start of the Riverwalk is within easy walking distance of the Hilton Garden and on the other side of the river is the Hampton Inn. If you feel adventurous you can head towards the falls and there is a trailer that leads to an observation deck that overlooks the falls themselves. On a day where the locks are open, you may get some over-spray, but the observation deck is where they launch the fireworks from every 4th of July. The path does connect with the railroad bridge bringing you back to the Lewiston side at Rail Road park where they have concerts once in a while as well as the yearly Great Falls Balloon Festival. The next time I get down the Riverwalk, I will be sure to get some photos and post them of some of the views you will experience.

Please read the bulletin board since they rotate the direction of the track daily. There are two basketball courts with adjustable net heights that they will gladly lower if you ask nice and there are plenty of basketballs to use. One of the courts is also used for PIckleBall which they have leagues that you can join up if you call and pay their fee. There is also a section that is for stretching, small group aerobics, or any other small group class. In the lobby area there is a good amount of seats for people waiting for others to finish their run, basketball practice, or pickleball game. There is also vending machines for snacks and drinks. They have a good amount of stalls in the locker rooms and plenty of hooks and other cubbies to put stuff away. Please be aware of their schedule since they sometimes have basketball games in which they put bleachers on the track. You can access their current schedule on their website. Be aware that as of now they are closed 10:30-11:30 M-F for a preschool program. I love taking my friend's kid here to let him run around the track or play basketball with any other local kid his age that happens to be there. Such a blessing for the many cold months and rainy days.
