Maine is truly America off the beaten path. While most of the state remains as pristine as a primal forest, its villages offer a glimpse of contemporary New England life inextricably linked to the past. In fact, a visit to Maine might be considered a double adventure as you explore the great outdoors, as well as the rural, yet sophisticated, country towns unique to New England. Sample our superb outlet shopping, watch for whales, take a moose cruise, ski the snowfields...the possibilities are as varied and unique as the state itself.

Along the coast, Acadia National Park offers 40,000 acres of spectacular mountain and ocean scenery. A trip to Monhegan Island is a trip back in time to the days before cars, trucks and paved roads.

Inland, the Kennebec River features some of the best white water rafting on the East Coast, while Baxter State Park is home to moose, Mount Katahdin, and over 200,000 acres of pristine wilderness. In the winter, Sugarloaf/USA and Sunday River host skiers from all over the world who come to western Maine for some of the best downhill skiing in the east.

From rugged coastline to mountainous wilderness, from bustling sea ports to remote sporting camps, discover the Maine Attraction.
