Winter is fun here, too. This ice fishing shack provides comfort for those taking advantage of some great winter fishing. This is Mattanawcook Pond, right in beautiful downtown Lincoln!

WOW!

Tyla Worster, 11-year-old daughter of Joe and Michelle Worster of Lincoln, caught this 14" brook trout on March 1, 2009 at Folsom Pond.

Nathan Solomon, who will be three years old in May, helped out with the bait.

If you like fishing, Lincoln is the place for you!

Lincoln is the shopping hub for the general area, so people from outlying smaller towns come here to get groceries, buy gifts, shop for vehicles and get a haircut.

So, what can you do to have fun around here?

Go shopping while you're here (and support the advertisers who make this site possible). You'll find some interesting places to buy something for the folks back home. If you're here on a Thursday, you might find a yard sale, too!

This is a wonderful area for hunting and fishing. The local snowmobile club maintains a network of well-groomed trails that also make great places for a walk in the woods in the spring, summer and fall. The club house is located on Town Farm Road, 3 miles north of downtown Lincoln and at the junction of trails 1 and 6. They are open Saturday and Sunday (weather permitting), and food and parking is available. You can get a PDF copy of a local trail map here.

There are boat landings on most of the lakes, and on the Penobscot River (there's a picnic area at this one). Put your boat, canoe or kayak in the water and enjoy a day of fishing or watching the wildlife. If you'd rather have a local person take you hunting or fishing, there are many Maine Guides in the area. In fact, you can even learn to be a Registered Maine Guide yourself, right here in Lincoln!

You can play 18 holes at the golf course, and take in a concert at the gazebo downtown on Friday nights.

Lincoln holds its homecoming celebration the third week of July each year, with the famous Riverdrivers Supper on Thursday. This is an outdoor feast, with beanhole beans, biscuits and everything that goes with it. There are homemade cookies for dessert–you don't want to miss that! On Saturday there's a parade on Main Street. And you should see the fireworks reflected in the lake! Check the Town of Lincoln website for more information.

Although Lincoln itself doesn't have a 4th of July parade, nearby Burlington's traditional parade is always a fun event.

Lincoln's Main St. has plenty of places to shop.

Folks enjoy a Friday night concert at the gazebo on Main Street in Lincoln.

Little League baseball games are fun for the whole family.

Friday evenings in the summer, musical entertainment is available downtown at the gazebo on the lake.

Picking wild berries yields not only a good time, but a delicious dessert as well. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries can be found around here..

There's plenty to do here, or you can just relax. Sounds good, doesn't it?

A good crowd always gathers for the Homecoming Parade in July.

Bagpipers liven up the Homecoming Parade.

With so many miles of shoreline, there's plenty to do in the water!
