Located on the banks of both the Penobscot and the Mattawamkeag Rivers, this rural community boasts the honor of its Wilderness Park being named by Yankee magazine as the best town-owned wilderness park for 2015. Both Henry David Thoreau and Theodore Roosevelt are among the many people who have visited the town. It is known as “two Rivers” as this is where the Penobscot and Mattawamkeag Rivers converge. The outdoor beauty and plethora of outdoor activities that are available make this town a recreationist’s dream come true.
