Located in Penobscot County, Dexter is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. Book a room at a Dexter inn and take part in the Wild West Weekends which happens every summer at the end of July. If you are planning a stay at a Dexter bed and breakfast during an earlier month, try to make it around the middle of February to see the Dexter Winter Festival. Other fun celebrations include the Bicentennial Celebration during August and the Easter Hat Parade during April. If you just want to spend some peaceful time by yourself or with someone special, take a walk along Lake Wassookeag. Also, you can take a sailboat or kayak ride along the water. Other popular activities include hunting, fishing, water skiing, snowmobiling, and swimming. Less
