What is good to know if travelling to Maine?

• For outdoor pursuits, head for Arostook, the largest and most northern county in Maine. There are 2,000 lakes and rivers for canoeing or fishing; cycle trails through potato blossom fields; woods and mountains for hiking and, in the winter, cross-country skiing.
• Boothbay Harbor has been called the boating capital of New England. It’s the largest harbor north of Boston, and you can stay here and enjoy the town’s restaurants and shops, or take a boat out on the water.
• Portland is the largest city in Maine, though not the capital of the state. One of its many attractions are the lighthouses surrounding the city. Portland Head Light is the oldest in the state; it has been operating since 1791. The adjacent lighthouse keeper’s house has now been turned into a museum. As well as the lighthouse itself, a number of walking trails start from the area, from which ocean views are stunning.
• 489 Congress Street, Portland, is the Wadsworth-Longfellow House; childhood home of the poet. The house has been restored to how it would have looked in the 1850s and is run by the Maine Historical Society.
• Trying the seafood, especially lobster and clam, is an essential part of any visit to Maine. The Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound is one of the best-loved lobster restaurants in the area.
• Acadia National Park is formed of more than 30,000 acres primarily on Mount Desert Island off the coast. The park has coastline, mountains, lakes and woodland, as well as 40 species of wildlife.
