Height of Land – Rangeley’s Most Breathtaking View
The View That Will Stay With You Long After You Leave!
If you’re visiting Huck’s Hideaway, there’s one stop you absolutely can’t miss — the iconic Height of Land overlook. It’s one of the most photographed spots in Maine, and once you’re there, you’ll see why.
Located along Route 17, just a short drive from Rangeley, Height of Land offers a sweeping panoramic view of Mooselookmeguntic Lake, the surrounding mountains, and endless forest stretching as far as the eye can see. On a clear day, the scenery is absolutely stunning, and in the fall, the foliage turns the entire landscape into a canvas of fiery reds, bright oranges, and golden yellows.
