Maine - the Perfect Year Round Vacation Spot
Maine is an often-overlooked vacation destination, however it is ideal for a cozy getaway, all year round and one of the best-kept New England vacation secrets. No matter what the season, there are a host of local attractions. Here is just a sample of what you can look forward to when you visit:
Nature
There are a wide variety of tours including nature tours and Moose tours where you will see brilliant foliage and get that once in a lifetime up close photo of a Moose. Additionally, Maine is teeming with hiking trails, scenic waterscapes, and lakefront tranquility.
Outdoor Activities
People come to Maine from near and far to hike, hunt, bird watch, snowmobile, kayak, ride horses, canoe, fish (including ice fishing) and explore. Attractions such as Baxter State Park, Mount Katahdin, Mount Kineo, Big Squaw Mountain, the Moosehead Historical Society, Lily Bay, Maine State Park, Borestone Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Moosehead Marine Museum are must-see attractions.
Rest & Relaxation
Whether it's a much-needed getaway, your honeymoon, or a corporate retreat, Maine makes for a great vacation getaway where you can leave behind the hustle and bustle of the fast pace of city life and suburbia.
Great Food
Maine boasts a full array of American and International restaurants and it's even possible to have a personal chef take this burden from you, making your getaway, even that much more restful.
Great Lodging
Why not try something new? Forget the hotels and enjoy one of Maine’s many cozy rental cabins; preferably a lakeside cabin.
That is just a glimpse of what you will find in Maine. A great place to plan your first Maine vacation is Greenville - referred to as “home of the Moose, solitude and adventure” and considered the hottest Maine vacation destination by many. Greenville is located on the southern tip of aptly named Moosehead Lake, Maine’s largest body of fresh water.
So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and plan your Maine vacation. Rest and Relaxation aside, there are activities for everyone regardless of the season.
