Dexter, ME. also has a great nine-hole municipal golf course and driving range, a public beach and picnic areas, plus boasts one of Maine’s best small municipal regional airport’s which offers 3,000 feet of lighted paved runway. Additionally, snowmobiling, fishing, water sports, and hunting are all popular recreational activities associated with the area.
Dexter, Maine is a charming rural town located on the Moosehead Trail in the heart of the State on the south side of pristine Lake Wassookeag. Referred to as being in the Maine Highlands, it is part of a particularly beautiful area that includes rolling hills, lush valleys, and numerous lakes and ponds. The 2010 Census recorded Dexter's year-round population at 3,895 with a combined land and water area that covers 37.16 sq. miles (96.24 sq. km). It is at the western edge of Penobscot County where it shares a border with Somerset County and Piscataquis County to the North.
The state of Maine is described as being Vacationland and Dexter fits this designation well. Let there be no mistake about it, this part of New England experiences all four seasons full force and “Mainers,” in particular, embrace them all through a variety of recreational activities that can include boating, kayaking, fishing, sailing, swimming, 4 wheeling, snowmobiling, hiking, biking, golfing, hunting, and much more. There is a deep appreciation for nature and the forests here that often spans several generations. Maine is a rugged state with a diverse landscape and character. This is largely what draws so many visitors to the state each year - the need to get in touch with this and be refreshed.
The business district of Dexter sits in a valley between Zions Hill on the west side and Bryant, or Main Street Hill on the east with Lake Wassookeag on the north side. The East Branch of the Sebasticook River flows from Lake Wassookeag in a southerly direction through the town. There are several landmarks of historic importance within close proximity of each other.
