Maine - A Taste of What's to Come

Monhegan
Monhegan is a small, rocky Island ten miles from the nearest mainland and scarcely a square mile in area. It is accessible only by boat and there are no cars or paved roads on the Island. Since long before the explorer John Smith visited it in 1614 it was known to Native Americans as a prime fishing area, and today its economy is still ruled by those who make their living from the sea by fishing and lobstering.

Rafting Kennebec
Kennebec River whitewater rafting trips are not like other Maine rafting trips! When you go Kennebec River rafting, you'll enter a beautiful gorge, view beautiful scenery, and experience the big rapids only a big gradient river can generate - this is what makes the Kennebec River so exciting!  That guy in the back of the raft is about to die.


Casco Bay
Casco Bay is an inlet of the Gulf of Maine. Its easternmost approach is Cape Small and its westernmost approach is Two Lights in Cape Elizabeth. The city of Portland sits along its southern edge.

Today visitors come to Acadia to hike granite peaks, bike historic carriage roads, or relax and enjoy the scenery.


Appalachian Trail
