Maine , the easternmost state in the United States bordered by the Atlantic. Almost 230 miles of coastline and four designated National Scenic Byways. Each of Maine’s byways boast archaeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational, and scenic qualities that make it worth the visit.
The shipping port of Bucksport overlooks historic Fort Knox, the largest fort in New England. With its labyrinth of passageways to explore, this 1844 granite structure will fascinate as you gaze at the awesome views of Penobscot River and Verona Island.
The gorge of Gulf Hagas is described as “The Grand Canyon of Maine” Filled with spectacular waterfalls, swimming holes, and chutes. Hike along an 8 mile loop which takes you along the rim of a deep 400 foot gorge and cuts through a branch of the Pleasant River. Gaze at views of Slate Canyon, take pictures of the immense population of wildlife, and witness the beauty and wonders of this untouched oasis.
Acadia - Saint John Valley
Riding on the Acadia Byway is something not to be missed. This byway travels through Acadia National Park and the historic villages of Bar Harbor and Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island and hugs the rugged Maine coast and the untouched old-growth forests. No need to worry about accommodations as you travel this route, you will find several along the way.
Old Canada Road Scenic Byway (U.S. Rt. 201)

The fall season is a great time to visit which is a time that displays beautiful foliage colors and scenery when traveling this byway.
Traveling down Rangeley Lakes National Scenic Byway, you will have many opportunities for outdoor recreation, such as boating, fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching. While wandering this route, you will awe in the beauty of crystal clear lakes and rolling mountains.
