Lovell has a lot more to offer than just beer. We happen to be located in one of the most beautiful spots in the White Mountains. Kezar Lake is just a few minutes away—as is some of the best hiking. And for those who prefer the great indoors you’ll find a world of great shopping nearby. Here are just a few of our favorites spots for year-round fun.

FOR OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS
Ebenezer's is conveniently situated on the 3rd hole of the Lake Kezar Country Club (for those who want to give up early). Nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains, this par 72 gem, combines a 1924 Donald Ross Design, with a 1998 spectacular and breathtaking back nine.
Rent a boat for the day, the week, or more. Kezar Lake Marina has ski boats, bass boats and pontoon boats. Naturally, water skis and tubes are also available. It’s a fun way to enjoy the lake.
There’s no better way to enjoy the lakes of Maine than to fish them. And there’s no better guide than registered Maine guide and captain, Carl Bois. Carl offers fishing trips on Kezar Lake, Sebago and many nearby lakes and ponds.
The Saco River is the second most popular canoeing river east of the Mississippi. There are many places to rent canoes and kayaks. This one is in nearby Fryeburg, Maine and is situated conveniently adjacent to the entranceway to Swans Falls, the most popular access point on the river.
Whether you're an expert hiker in the mood for a full day hike or a family looking for a 15 minute jaunt, Maine's lake region has a trail for you. The area offers hundreds of hiking and mountain trail options. To find the hike that's right for you, visit Lakes Region of Maine and/or search "Lovell" on trails.com.
The White Mountains cover about a quarter of the state of New Hampshire and a portion of western Maine. Part of the Appalachian Mountains, they are considered the most rugged mountains in New England. You’ll find some great maps here on trails.com (search "North Conway").

Ebenezer's Pub, situated on one of Maine's official snowmobile trails, can offer warm refuge to even the hardiest of snowmobilers.
FOR SHOPPERS AND SPA LOVERS
Shop til you drop at over 60 outlet stores only 40 minutes away.
If you still have money left after hitting the outlets, North Conway has many more shops and artisan show rooms begging for your attention.
Nearby Bridgton, Maine, offers a variety of unique shopping experiences that are a world apart from the pace of outlet shopping. You can explore some of them here, but it’s worth driving to Bridgton and just walking around the town.
Just 45 minutes away in Bethel, Maine, you’ll find this little pottery oasis. They don’t have a website yet (they’re probably too busy keeping up with customer demand), but you’ll find some information about them here. Each Bonnema pot magically captures the spirit of Maine’s lakes and mountains.
If there is a special someone in your party who loves pampering as much as you love Belgian beer then a trip to Thorn Hill might convince them to make the trip to Lovell with you. Located in nearby Jackson New Hampshire, the day spa at the Inn at Thorn Hill is a sanctuary in the mountains.
