With miles of coastline, thousands of lakes, endless rivers and deep forests, visitors can find their perfect vacation spot, whether it's on a sandy beach, at a family campground or walking along Main Street in a bustling city or town. Maine is also known for abundant outdoor recreation opportunities in all four seasons, from swimming and boating in the warmer months to excellent skiing in the winter.

Carriage Roads

Reviewed By LPLoveToTravel - Ocala, United States

The carriage road system's intent was to provide access to the inner beauty of Mount Desert Island. Designed with the natural contours of the land to minimize impact and to maximize views it's the perfect place to hike or bike ride and really enjoy the solitude of nature.

Mountain Division Trail

Reviewed By hippiemoose - Plymouth, United States

If your looking for a walk and dont want to be up and down in the woods this is a GREAT walk. As someone said it is paved, it does follow and old rail track and there are many interesting things to see along the way. We got about half way before we turned around because it started to get dark but we loved it and we hope to be able to get back and walk the entire thing back and forth. There were a few other walkers, a biker and a jogger. All friendly. We really loved it and there is a bunch of free parking.

Eastern Promenade Trail

Reviewed By GayVagabond - Fort Lauderdale, United States

The East End beach promenade covers a large area and immediately makes you feel relaxed. There is a rolling hill that you can envision taking a picnic and bottle of wine with your boyfriend or bestie and just chilling. Or perhaps one of the sailboats with a hot skipper carries you out to sea. Either way this is a scenic part of Portland you do not want to miss.

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.
