TOP STOPS THERE AND BACK IN THE REGION.
A list of the top things to see and do if you only have
a couple days to spend in The County.
Starting your first day in the southern part of the region, traveling north on
US Route 1, heading up through Central Aroostook and through the Saint John
Valley to Fort Kent, where Route 1 begins or ends depending on how you look
at it. For those with an eye for astronomy, make sure to stop and visit each of the
planets in the solar system between Houlton and Presque Isle.
St. Juste, QC
Day two, head back south along Route 11 past myriad lakes and tributaries
and through several lumber towns, and be rewarded with panoramic views
of Mt. Katahdin.
