About Maine

Maine is the most northeastern state in the United States. In fact, it is where America's day starts - on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. With a nickname like Vacationland, it's no wonder that Maine is one of the most traveled to New England states. Top destinations include Portland, Brunswick and Bangor. In addition, many coastal towns are also at the top of the list including Bar Harbor, Old Orchard Beach and York. Maine is great both for the traveler looking to get away from it all in nature at the end of the Appalachian Trail (Baxter State Park) or for those interested in hanging out in a small city like Portland, Maine.

Things to Do in Maine

Maine is a great destination year round. In the summer, you can hike and camp in beautiful parks like Baxter State Park and Acadia National Park. Into fishing or swimming?

There are also many festivals in the summer including the Old Port Festival in Portland, the Yarmouth Clam Festival and the Maine Lobster Festival.
