Set along the meandering Aroostook River and close to the vast North Maine Woods, Oxbow appeals to those seeking a simpler pace of life amid untamed wilderness. Outdoor enthusiasts find joy in every season—whether hiking, canoeing, hunting, or snowmobiling—with nearby destinations like Presque Isle and Caribou providing easy access to regional amenities and events.
While Oxbow values its rural roots, families will discover a strong sense of community. Public school options are served through MSAD 45, a district dedicated to small class sizes and individualized attention. The local school fosters close-knit connections and a focus on both academic achievement and personal development, reflecting the area’s values.
Unique features set Oxbow apart. The town sits close to the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, offering world-renowned canoeing adventures and wildlife viewing. Anglers and naturalists can enjoy the serenity of the Aroostook River, and the famous Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge is within reasonable driving distance for birdwatching and photography. History lovers will appreciate the area’s logging heritage, evident in seasonal festivals and family-run businesses.
