IMHO
Shawnee yes, obvious and dominant view
West the river is a fraction of the view, it's nice, but not like the others. I'm a no vote.
these two are subjective:
Saddleback you can see a couple of lakes sure but it isn't any different than most places in Maine. I'm a no vote on Saddleback, but I can see how some people would say yes. You certainly notice it. Edit: I've only been there at subzero temps with the wind howling, so I could easily be wrong on this.
Ski Sundown is odd, it's a reservoir right up close, but it's a res shaped like a river, and it's kind of tucked into a narrow valley, doesn't dominate the view in my opinion. but maybe somebody else will say it does. Very pretty location
