A lovely quiet spot with a good variety of books--many on Maine, especially the local area. I've purchased pretty cards here and a nice narrow-ruled journal that held up well over a long trip. A place that enhances the town by making current and classic books easily available--and fun gifts too.

This is a charming informal garden with paths weaving through richly planted, generally shaded beds. There are lawns too and a great collection of lilacs which must be great in their season. For local gardeners this acts as a valuable site from which to learn about suitable garden material. Garden team well informed and enthusiastic too.

Stayed at the hotel for my birthday on 1/19/18. The hotel just opened in November. We stayed in an executive king room for only $118.00. The room was very clean and we loved how spacious it was. The staff was super friendly and even called...MoreThank you for the WICKEDGOOD Feedback, Shawn S.! We appreciate the kind words :)
5. Streaked Mountain

The trailhead is located on the left side of Streaked Mountain Road. Although not marked, it's easy to find because of evidence on the shoulders of many cars having parked there. The trail starts in the woods and starts to climb immediately. In 2016, it is marked with orange blazes. Evidence of older blazes (red, turquoise) are seen on parts of the route to the top. After about 10 - 15 minutes in the woods, you begin the hike up the granite face of the mountain toward the radio towers. It took us, a reasonably fit couple in our 60s, about 30 minutes to reach the radio towers at the summit. There are unobstructed views to the WNW on the way to the summit. From the area around the radio towers, there are expansive views of mountains and farms. The hike is family-friendly to this point. An option then is to retrace your steps to the trailhead. A second option is to continue the hike if you have a map and a compass. We walked across the summit in an ESE direction, looking for a trail that would take us to a slightly lower peak to the west. We found a trail without difficulty and found the views from the second peak to be better than those from the first. From there, we followed a jeep road (across the granite) until it intersected with a trail that is heavily used by ATV's and snowmobiles. These trails meandered from SE to S to SW. The upper part was all across granite ledges which are quite interesting from a geological standpoint. The lower part of the trail was through woods and eventually along a dirt road that passes a protected forest area. We followed the dirt road W until it intersected with the Streaked Mt Road, where we turned N to walk back to the trailhead. This indirect route was about 3.5 miles from the towers to the trailhead and gave us a total distance of about 6 miles. This included some wandering around the summit as we picked all the wild blueberries we could eat. Instead of following the Streaked Mountain Road back to 117 to return to South Paris, we drove in the opposite direction and found that the road intersects with King Hill Road, where there are some spectacular views. There's also a business in the road that sells blueberries, so if you haven't had your fill, you have a chance to get more.

I have been taking classes here for the last several years and absolutely love it! The classes are very invigorating and grounding. My time on my mat in this space is so precious to me and I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't found this Astanga studio. The instructor, Chris Harris, has been practicing yoga for 20 years and teaching for 18. He is full of wisdom and is a wonderful teacher. He has a wide breadth of knowledge about Classical Astanga and no two classes are ever the same. Every class is suitable for beginner-advanced. Chris always offers modifications of needed. Check this studio out, your life won't be the same! The studio is heated to about 90-95 in the summer and 85-90 in the winter, depending on outside temperature. Be sure to hydrate, wear appropriate clothes and be open to a vigorous practice!

Katie licensed PT and Yoga instructor/owner is great and the classes are fantastic. Several other instructors are being added as the growth demands more time at her active studio. I started yoga last spring and wonder how I could missed this activiity most of my life.
