Bethel stands as a welcoming escape for those seeking all the seasons of New England living wrapped in one small town. Flanked by the White Mountain National Forest and just a quick jaunt from the Oxford County seat, Bethel thrives as a year-round destination with stunning mountain views, rivers, and forest trails that invite adventure seekers and peace-lovers alike. The heartbeat of Bethel pulses in its lively village center, home to galleries, locally owned restaurants, and the stately Bethel Inn Resort, a community hub since 1913.
Skiing enthusiasts will relish being minutes from world-class slopes at Sunday River Resort, while hikers, bikers, and paddlers take advantage of the Androscoggin River. On Main Street, the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum unlocks the region's geological wonders for curious minds both young and old. Meanwhile, families appreciate Bethel’s strong commitment to education, anchored by the Regional School Unit 44 and the highly regarded Telstar Regional Middle/High School.
Seasonal festivals—echoed in the annual Bethel Harvestfest—bring neighbors and visitors together, while nearby getaways beckon in Rumford, or the Paris Hill neighborhood in South Paris. With its unique blend of outdoor opportunity, small-town hospitality, and community spirit, Bethel is an appealing place to call home.
