Maine

Maine, a stunning destination where craggy shores and dense forests meet small towns. As the easternmost state in contiguous U.S., Maine is the first to see the sunrise with the daylight over its beautiful 3,500 miles of tidewater coastline. In 2023, more than 15 million people traveled to Maine, lured by its natural beauty and one-of-kind things to do. From wandering through the classic exterior of Acadia National Park, the second most trafficked national park on the East Coast, to chowing down on the freshest lobster (Maine nets almost 100 million pounds per year!), there’s no end to the adventure as you wind your way up.

Beyond its famous shores, Maine’s vast inland, with more than 6,000 lakes and ponds and Mount Katahdin, the apex of the Appalachian Trail. Geographically, Maine is also the largest state in New England and larger than all other New England states combined with over 17 million forested acres. Whether you’re walking around historic Portland, taking in the changing leaves in autumn, or paddling peacefully on Moosehead Lake, you’ll find a different tapestry of experiences in Maine that will always leave you wanting more.
