Hiking In Maine



There are many opportunities to take side hiking trips from Route 1 in Maine and see parts of Maine that few see. Many parts of Route 1 in Maine are designated as Scenic Byways and many of them offer hiking trails.

Even if you opt to just walk a stretch of rocky coastline, you are seeing parts of Maine that few visitors see.

Cobscook Bay, northwest of Machias, Maine is an incredibly beautiful spot that is almost ignored by visitors to Maine.

The tides here are amazing; the low tide is really low and when the tide turns, you’d better be running for shore!

The tides this far north are fast and wild and you had better be prepared, whether you are beachcombing or kayaking.

Winter Harbor and Corea exist on a lovely and quiet peninsula west of Bar Harbor and parts of the peninsula are part of Acadia National Park.

Even if you aren’t into geology, the rock formations here are sure to grab your attention. Schoodic Point is an amazing place; plan a long picnic here and make sure your camera battery is fully charged.

Acadia National Park has some of the finest non-mountain hiking in Maine. Yes, you can hike up Cadillac Mountain, but it’s just not the same as taking on Katahdin in Baxter State Park.

In August, you’re bound to find plenty of wild blueberries along the trails. In September, the weather is still lovely and the blueberry plants change into a bright red.
