    Road cycling

    Richmond sits along the Kennebec River and like many towns in Maine it has its own unique charm. What separates Richmond from its neighbors is the collection of homes built in a Greek Revival style. It's also the main access point for Swan Island and the Steve Powell Wildlife Management Area. This island is a nature lovers dream as there is no vehicle access, thus you'll have to provide your own boat or hire one to take you to the island.
