Skiing Near Flagstaff Lake
While Flagstaff Landing isn’t a Ski lodge, one of the big reasons why our guests stay with us in the winter is our great location in the middle of Maine’s ski country. We’re 10 miles from Sugarloaf and less than 45 minutes from Saddleback mountain, two of Maine’s best Ski resorts. Add in other fun winter activities like snowmobiling and ice fishing, and the Flagstaff Lake area is just as attractive in winter as it is in summer.
