Explore Spectacular Rugged Coastlines

Explore Spectacular Rugged Coastlines

With mountains and valleys, beautiful lakes and rushing rivers all guarded by those signature pine trees, Maine is an outdoor paradise. However, the real appeal of Maine is its spectacular rugged coastline – nearly 3,500 miles of jagged headlands, secret coves, charming fishing villages and peppered with lighthouses which are a Maine trademark. Here the Atlantic surges past thousands of little islands to crash onto granite rocks.

To hike in Maine is to introduce yourself to the state, one step at a time. You breathe in the salt as you round a corner in Acadia National Park, or hoist yourself up a steep pitch on a mountain in western Maine. Everything is slow, deliberate, and linked with the land. There are great hikes throughout Maine, on federal lands like Acadia, in state parks such as Mt. Blue, and along the East Coast’s longest walk, the Appalachian Trail.
