While it’s true that Labor Day is over and summer is winding down, it’s also true that summer isn’t officially over for a few more weeks. Until that happens, it’s time for ice cream, lake views and if you’re lucky…both of those at the same time! For the best of the best, head to this small town in Maine where you’ll find a special place where you can eat your ice cream next to lapping water from Long Lake. Visit and then decide which is better – the views or the ice cream! Can’t make it in time before they close? Put it first on your list for next year!
