Princeton is a lakes-and-woods community in Washington County where everyday life aligns with the outdoors. With access to Lewy Lake, Grand Falls Flowage, and the West Branch of the St. Croix, residents spend weekends fishing for bass and salmon, paddling quiet coves, and watching loons from the dock. The nearby Downeast Lakes Land Trust’s extensive trails and programs at the Downeast Lakes Community Forest make it easy to hike, bird, and explore year-round, while the vast wetlands and forests of Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge invite wildlife viewing just down the road. Local services are anchored by the Town of Princeton, which keeps community news, permits, and events within easy reach.
Families appreciate Princeton Elementary School (K–8) for its close-knit environment and hands-on learning. Older students commonly attend Woodland Jr/Sr High School in Baileyville or Calais High School in Calais, offering academic, arts, and athletics options without a long commute. For healthcare and specialty care, Calais Community Hospital provides a dependable hub, and the amenities of Calais complement Princeton’s everyday conveniences.
Weekday routines here come with small-town ease—think friendly local shops, quick lake access, and trailheads minutes from home—while coastal day trips to Machias keep the arts, dining, and Maine’s rugged shoreline on the itinerary.
