The Maine Highlands

For sheer natural beauty, The Maine Highlands could be the center of the universe. Which makes perfect sense. Because it’s in the center of Maine, a region that’s home to legendary Katahdin, stunning Moosehead Lake and the great city of Bangor – and a level of adventure, discovery and serenity you’ll encounter nowhere else.

Things To Do

The Maine Highlands are home to more than 200 waterfalls, countless miles of hiking trails, great hunting, and some of the best snowmobiling trails anywhere. This region is also one of the best places to see moose, too! A moose tour is an excellent way to experience these massive (and let’s face it, goofy-looking) creatures).

Outdoor adventures are plentiful. You can also visit the crash site of a United States Air Force Boeing B-52C Stratofortress – a legacy of the Cold War. How about incredible star gazing? The Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument has been designated an International Dark Sky Sanctuary, one of only 13 in the world. Explore the land, experience the culture, and find a new adventure on the Katahdin Woods & Waters Scenic Byway.
