Maine Travel

Maine LobsterWith over 3,000 miles of coastline and more than thirty state parks, Maine is an attraction for just about any outdoor enthusiast. Beyond the rugged cliffs of the Portland Head Light to the summit on Mt Katahdem, pine trees, lakes, and wildlife cover much of the area around and in between, making Maine a paradise for hunters, fishermen, campers, hikers, and nature lovers alike. Acadia National Park, Baxter State Park, Camden Hills State Park, Popham Beach State Park, and Roosevelt Campobello International Park are among Maine's most well-known state and national parks. During the hot summer months, Maine attracts beachcombers from near and far. The beaches at York, Ogunquit, Wells, and Kennebunk are among the most popular resort and vacation spots. Old Orchard Beach, Oqunquit Beach, and Popham Beach are, perhaps, the most popular and are very family oriented beaches. If you're up to venturing a little further north, Sand Beach in Acadia offers some breathtaking, scenic views ...however, be forewarned-the water is cold. If you're not into sun lotion or walking in the woods , there are plenty of other things to do in Maine from exploring lighthouses and rock formations to kayaking and rafting, ATV riding to snowmobiling, or from sailing to skiing. For you shoppers , Maine is the home of L.L. Bean, the Kittery Trading Post, and a whole lot of outlet shops in Kittery and Freeport. Antique collectors will find dozens of small shops, interesting boutiques, and bed and breakfast's as they drive up along Route 1. For those interested in planning a trip, please see our directory for more detailed information. One final word to leave you with: LOBSTER!!!


 

In My Footsteps:Freeport, Maine

wolf's-neck-farmAlthough Freeport is widely known throughout the Northeast as the home of more than 200 outlet and designer shops including many famous brands like L.L. Bean, Nike, and Reebok, there is much more to see and experience there-- including some  of the most amazing natural phenomena in New England.

One such attraction, Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park, is only a few minutes' drive from the famous Freeport Outlets but it is a completely different altogether.  It consists of more than 200 acres of land given to the state by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence M.C. Smith in 1969.  The drive down Wolfe’s Neck Road is a great example of how much Freeport’s landscape can change in such a short distance.

In My Footsteps: Bar Harbor, Maine

agamont-park-maineLocated on the incredible Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor ended up being a slice of home for me hundreds of miles away from it.  In the same vein as Nantucket, Bar Harbor is a hugely popular tourist destination, especially during the peak months of April through October.  It is also the home to a large part of the picturesque Acadia National Park but that spot is worthy of its own article.
I stayed overnight in Bar Harbor as it is a good two hours' drive up from Owl’s Head.  I stayed at the Edenbrook Motel on Eden Street.  It was a perfect area for a base camp as it was very close to the main drag of Bar Harbor: Cottage Street.  Although not quite the same, Cottage Street has a lot of the charm that Main Street on Nantucket has, minus the cobblestones, of course.  There are so many little shops and restaurants that are unique to Bar Harbor, I found myself parking in an off-street lot and taking the time to walk up and down Cottage Street and the surrounding area just to see these spots.
