The Kennebec & Moose River Valley Region of Maine is known for some of the best hunting and fishing in the state and for a wide array of outdoor adventure experiences including its world-class whitewater rafting.   Skowhegan is home for many forest-based industries including wood products, papermaking and maple syrup production.   Skowhegan is also the gateway to the Old Canada Road National Scenic Byway.   The byway, US 201, runs adjacent to the beautiful Kennebec River and traces the route of generations of early settlers and travelers between Maine and Quebec.
