June through October; if you drive the Rangeley Lakes National Scenic Byway (RLNSB) on the weekends, stopping into the overlooks, you’ll likely meet a Byway Ambassador. The 52-mile byway winds through over 60,000 acres of conserved public access lands offering scenic beauty and multi-season recreational opportunities, much of it stewarded by RLHT.
The Ambassador program, sponsored by the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust (RLHT), connects the community to conservation in a unique way. Ambassadors staff the Height of Land, Whip Willow Farm, and Quill Hill Scenic Overlooks during high-volume hours to help visitors make the most of their time in Rangeley.
“Through a brief conversation, the ambassadors recommend to visitors. They recommend trails, shops, restaurants, and experiences. They also explain the landscape and answer questions,” stated Amanda Laliberte, Program Director. “Often, we’re sharing places they didn’t know existed.”
