How to get to Rangeley Lake State Park
The park entrance is off South Shore Drive, reached from Route 4 and Route 17 near the town of Rangeley. Portland is roughly 125 miles southeast, about a 2.5 to 3 hour drive, and Bangor is about 150 miles east, around 3 hours. Route 17 from Rumford climbs over Height of Land with steep grades and sharp curves, so larger RVs may prefer the gentler approach via Route 4 through Farmington. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Portland International Jetport.
