About Dexter

Dexter is a quiet central Maine community that grew up around the falls of the Sebasticook River. While its old brick mills and downtown museum nod to a storied working-class past, daily life today centers around the outdoors. Lake Wassookeag sits right by town, offering a popular public beach, boating, and fishing in the warmer months, along with ice fishing once winter sets in. For anyone looking for a slower pace, Dexter provides friendly neighbors, beautiful lake views, and classic Maine character.
