Dark Skies Seniors Getaway at AMC Medawisla Lodge and Cabins
2026-09-08 15:00 - 2026-09-11 10:00
As MOAC members, we are inviting you to join us for a 3 nights getaway in the middle of Maine at AMC’s Medawisla Lodge and Cabins in the Maine Woods Initiative area geared to seniors but open to all. We have timed our stay to take advantage of dark skies to enjoy a sky full of stars without having to stay up late. Bring a lawn chair and sit by the lake for a full view of the sky. Whether you enjoy easier trails in the woods, climbing mountains, off road biking or paddling, you can find something to do here. However, you can just enjoy sitting on the porch at the lodge or down at the lake. Bring your own kayak, paddle board or canoe or use one available there. There are also 2 other ponds to enjoy by canoe down the road. There is off road and trail biking available. Hiking opportunities vary from mostly flat to mountains. Please be sure to bring your equipment and carry the essentials. There is no phone service on most trails in the area.
