Recreational Parking Area/Kingfield Gateway Parking
- We are excited to announce that the Town of Kingfield with the help of our Village Enhancement Committee has created a permanent parking area for snowmobilers, atv’s, skiers, walkers, etc.
- This parking area is adjacent to the sled shed and was created with trucks/trailers in mind. The are is lighted for everyone’s safety.
- We ask that you respect all users of this parking area.
- DOGS: Dog’s are often walked in the fields abutting this area and according to Maine Law are “required to be on a leash at all times while out”. Town Ordinance dictates that no person shall cause or permit any dog owned or kept by him to run at large within the town limits. Dogs while on any public way or place shall be under restraint of the owner.
- For our non-locals this is located on Route 27 coming into Kingfield. (171 Main Street for GPS purposes)

The goals of KTB: 1. Connect existing and proposed non motorized trails in the area. 2. Develop a year round non motorized trail system for community users and visitors. 3. Enhance the downtown experience for both motorists and non-motorists through signage, shared lane markings, and asset improvements, providing for a safer and engaged driving, walking, and riding community.

Kingfield Historical Tour
Kingfield, incorporated in 1816, is a beautiful historic village set amid incredible scenery. Routes 27, 16 and 142 meet in the center of town, 20 miles north of Farmington and just south of Sugarloaf mountain. Home to three museums, Kingfield has history for all. The Stanley Museum celebrates Stanley family genius, inventors of the Stanley Steamer car. The Ski Museum of Maine looks at the history of Maine winter sports and if you happen to visit on a Wednesday in the summer, stop by the Kingfield Historic House to experience rural home and town life through the centuries.
Over 200 historic properties line the streets, some listed on the National Historic Register.
This map: Kingfield Historic Tour Map 11-4-19 identifies many of these historic properties.
We ask that you respect the privacy of those living here and please keep your tour within the public ways.
