Medway sits where the East and West Branches of the Penobscot River meet, offering quick I-95 access and an easy drive to regional hubs like Bangor, Lincoln, and nearby Millinocket. Life here blends small-town ease with outsized outdoor opportunity, from quiet neighborhoods and woodland lots to riverfront views, all within Penobscot County.
Weekends often start on the water or a trail. Just up the road, Baxter State Park invites summit days and serene pond paddles, with details and trail guidance from the park’s official site at Baxter State Park. To the east, the wild solitude of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument spans a landscape of dark skies and wildlife-rich forests; the National Park Service keeps current conditions and trip ideas at Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. Closer to town, families and fitness-minded residents enjoy groomed paths and riverside vistas at Penobscot River Trails, a four-season network with free public access.
Families appreciate the close-knit Medway school community, and older students benefit from regional options, including career and technical programs at Northern Penobscot Tech Region III in Lincoln. Everyday essentials are nearby, and healthcare needs are served locally and in surrounding towns, with hospital care at Penobscot Valley Hospital in Lincoln.
