Byway Ambassador Report
December 5, 2022
Drive the Rangeley Lakes National Scenic Byway on the weekends during the summer and fall, and you’ll likely meet a Byway Ambassador. They are there to help our visitors make the most of their time in Rangeley. 2022 was the second year of the Byway Ambassador Program.
What does it mean for Byway Ambassadors to connect our visitors with their best experiences in our region? Through a brief conversation, the Ambassador can make pointed recommendations for their time in Rangeley, explain the landscape, and answer questions about everything.
Following 2021’s trend, in 2022, first-time visitors to the region outnumbered returning visitors, and Mainers were more likely to visit Rangeley than out-of-staters. Over 50% of visitors were unaware they were on a National Scenic Byway.
