Come join us at Artisan Fest for a weekend of food, art, and fun! Watch skilled artists demonstrate pottery and blacksmithing, or take a kaleidoscope-making class that you can only find here at Sunday River. 

Don't miss out on the tasting tent where you can sample wines, spirits, and cheeses from local Maine businesses. And if you love trying different kinds of beer, we've got a Maine Beer Box with 78 taps of Maine brews!

As an added bonus, we will be hosting an antique car cruise-in on Saturday and Sunday. Check out the Artisan Fest page  for a full list of events and activities for the weekend! 

As we transition into fall, scenic lift rides will now run on Saturdays and Sundays, from 10AM - 4PM, with 3:30PM being the last time to purchase a ticket for the day. 

Lastly, don't forget to share your summer joy with us on Happy Place Found – we love seeing your adventures!

Hiking Trail Conditions

Trail Conditions as of September 27, 2023

•  As the mountain gradually dries out, be aware that there are still muddy and slippery areas in certain places. Exercise caution, especially on bridges, wet rocks, and slick mud sections.
• The tunnel through Ridge Run within the Merrill Hill loop is still pretty darn mucky. We recommend guests stay on the ski mountain trail as they make their way up and down the mountain. 
•  To ensure a safe and enjoyable hike, it's essential to wear proper footwear. Sturdy hiking boots with good traction are highly recommended.
• Please obey all signs and keep an eye out for construction vehicles driving up the mountain roads.

Hiking trails currently open: A, I, J, D, E, H, K, B, C, M, L, and G 

Hiking trails currently closed: O

As you explore the resort, we want to remind that the Barker Basin is a closed area 7 days per week due to construction. If you would like to take a peek, we have set up a viewing area on Lower Lazy River as it enters Barker Basin, which can be accessed from trail G.
