Maine

A coastal state in the northeast corner of the U.S., with rocky shores, lighthouses, lobster and unforgettable Acadia National Park.

Maine lies at the northeastern tip of the United States, with a rugged coastline and extensive forests inland. Portland is the largest city, with a thriving dining scene in the Old Port and the famous Portland Head Light at Cape Elizabeth nearby; Bar Harbor is the gateway to Acadia National Park, where Cadillac Mountain and the Park Loop Road offer magnificent views; many coastal fishing villages are known for lobster, and inland Baxter State Park is the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Summer and the fall foliage season are the best times to visit, and winters are cold. The main gateway is Portland International Jetport, and you can also drive from Boston.
