February Vacation in Bethel: What to Do On and Off the Mountain

A local guide to skiing, trails, indoor fun, and winter activities around Sunday River 

If you’re here to ski or ride…

Sunday River Resort (Newry)

  • Big-mountain option: multiple peaks, lots of terrain + resort vibes.

  • Vacation-week energy: keep an eye on the events calendar (linked above) as President'sWeek plans progress. 

Mt. Abram (Greenwood)

  • Local, laid-back, family-friendly mountain feel.

  • Super approachable for beginners with rentals + daily lessons. 

If you want to “play outside” on more level ground...

Inland Woods + Trails (Bethel)

  • Nordic skiing + snowshoeing + fat bike trails close to town. Their site highlights trail conditions, lessons, rentals, and ways to get involved. This month, there is an on-going scavenger hunt!

Mahoosuc Land Trust (Bethel + region)

  • Great for visitors who want a guided/hosted outdoor experience (walks, winter wildlife topics, seasonal events).

  • Their Events Calendar is packed with winter programming (webinars + in-person stuff like Winterfest). Vacation week features a Hunting For Food Event

Maine West Project Play (Western Maine)

  • Perfect angle for families: their mission is fun, engaging sports + outdoor programming in western Maine. 

  • Events include Wednesday Night Lights and an Uphill/Downhill Race at Mt Abram.

If the weather’s wild or you need an indoor reset

The Gem (Bethel)

  • Ideal “warm up + chill out” move: movies + live events.

  • Their site posts upcoming films & special events (great for vacation-week evenings). 

Bethel Library (Bethel Library Association)

  • Cozy, free, and family-friendly: programs + events, plus a good stop if you need a quiet hour between adventures. 

Maine Mineral & Gem Museum (Bethel)

  • A must for February vacation: bright, indoor, and genuinely impressive.

  • Travel Maine calls out 15,000+ sq ft and 19 exhibits with rare gems/fossils/minerals.
