Saint-Albans
is located in eastern Somerset County approximately 19 miles northeast of Skowhegan and just northeast of the town of Hartland. Considered a "rural and seasonal community," Saint Albans is situated at the southern tip of Indian Pond. Seasonal housing that surrounds the pond accounts for one-third of the total housing in St. Albans. The town is 45 square miles in size and has a permanent population of about 1,800 residents. There are no major transportation corridors through the town, but, of course, this is exactly what many people like about it, being off the beaten track. This is largely a forested, secluded region that is perfect for many outdoor sports, such as swimming, boating, fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. The Sugarloaf Ski Area, Great Moose Lake and Sebasticook River are within an easy drive and Saint Albans is approximately 30 miles from the China Lakes Region and about one hour from the city of Portland. The city of Newport, which is considered the "Gateway to the Moosehead Region," is less than ten miles away and offers a vibrant downtown area with interesting shops and restaurants.

Saint Albans Weather & Climate

Central Maine , in the area known as the Maine Highlands, enjoys four distinct seasons.
The Penobscot Valley region has plenty of clear, sunny days in summer, with nights cool enough to provide a welcome relief from the warm days. Brisk, sunny days and cool nights in September prepare for what is the favorite season for many in Maine. The spectacular colors of fall draw lots of visitors to the area. Temperatures continue to cool down through October and November, with wintry weather returning around Thanksgiving. Cold weather settles in around Thanksgiving. January and February are generally the coldest months of winter. Below zero temperatures are possible, but infrequent and usually do not last for a very long period of time. Temperatures begin to increase in March, with a corresponding increase in humidity. The Bangor area receives approximately 85 inches of snow a year, most of it occurring in eight to ten measurable storms per year.
