This live camera looks over West Forks, a small village in the Kennebec Valley of western Maine, where the Kennebec River runs through a wide forested landscape. Watch it to see current conditions in the Maine woods, especially if you are planning a paddling, hiking or winter trip in the area.

A river town in the Maine woods

West Forks sits on the Kennebec River, close to the Moose River junction, in one of the least crowded parts of the state. The surroundings are mostly forest, lakes and rivers, with mountains of the Western Maine highlands rising to the west. The village is best known as a base for whitewater rafting, canoeing and access to the Moxie area, and its quiet pace is part of the appeal.

What the camera shows and when to watch

The view depends on the camera angle, so check the live picture for what is currently visible. Autumn foliage in late September and October is a popular time to watch, as are snowy mornings in winter. Spring high water on the river is often the most dramatic period, while summer evenings can bring clear light over the valley.

Climate, access and nearby cameras

Winters are cold and snowy, with temperatures often below freezing from December to March, while summers are mild and comfortable. Early autumn is widely considered the best time to visit. Nearby, the Sugarloaf ski area and the Carrabassett Valley cameras are roughly 35 kilometres away, and Brownville and Bangor offer other views in the wider region.
