Where Tradition Meets Active Living

University of Maine at Farmington (UMF) has a proud and vibrant history rooted in athletics, competitive sports, and a deep connection to the outdoors.

Beyond organized sports, students can explore outdoor recreation of Maine’s trails, rivers, and mountains through Mainely Outdoors, enjoy group fitness classes or personal training at the Fitness & Recreation Center, or simply get outside and try something new.

Outdoor Recreation

At UMF, the outdoors isn’t just nearby—it’s part of everyday life. From skiing and snowboarding to hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, and camping, adventure is always within reach. Right off campus, students can explore trails, paddle the Sandy River, or hit night skiing at Titcomb Mountain. With gear rentals, lessons, and trips through Mainely Outdoors—and free season passes to Titcomb—UMF makes it easy to get outside, try something new, and make every day an adventure.
