Things to do in Bangor, Maine (ME): The Best Outdoor Activities

November 26, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

The city of Bangor is perhaps most well known as the setting for many of Stephen King's stories, a reputation that has led to the nickname Transylmainia. There is more to Bangor than just tales of horror, however. There is a thriving arts scene, with museums, galleries, theaters, a symphony orchestra and a popular sidewalk art festival every summer. The area around Bangor includes the coastal Acadia National Park and the wooded Baxter State Park, providing plenty of outdoor adventure.

Penobscot River Walkway

Reviewed By DownEast47 - Finger Lakes, United States

While in Bangor, we decided to take a stroll along the beautiful Penobscot River Walkway before heading for home. I've read about it in DownEast magazine. It's so peaceful ... we were there on an autumn day; and in spite of it being chilly, there were many dog-walkers and "seniors" taking advantage of the day. A nice photo-op walk.

Many miles of walking trails to check out, great on a summer day, including walking over a marsh as well!

I did a quick walk here one day while I was in Bangor, wanted to get away from the "city". Was very enjoyable.
