As any Maine dweller or visitor knows, this beautiful, unspoiled state offers much more than lobsters and lighthouses. Its icons are many—a stunning coastline, four national parks, dozens of historic towns, endless sea-to-table restaurants, forested hills perfect for hiking, gorgeous winter getaways...the list goes on. A visit here literally means taking the road less traveled, since Maine is the least densely populated U.S. state east of the Mississippi River. If you proudly embrace your wanderlust or simply love the outdoors, you’ll be greatly rewarded by adding the Pine Tree State to your must-visit list.
Maine’s coastline is best explored in the summer and early fall, but the inland areas offer outdoor enthusiasts loads of options year-round.
Weather is milder along the coast, including cooler summers with temps in the 70s. Winter can bring as much as 100 inches of snow to inland Maine.
Maine’s topography gradually soars from sea level to 5,276 feet at the state’s highest point, Mount Katahdin.
Three regions compose Maine: the Atlantic Ocean coastal lowland, the Central Uplands, and the Appalachian Mountains in the north.

Maine is a rugged and outdoorsy yet decidedly gorgeous New England state, famous for its enviable mix of craggy coastline, inland forests, and pristine lakes. Winter means snowmobiling, and the options here are truly endless. The same can be said for off-roading in the warmer months. With all of Maine’s coastal splendor, inland beauty, and year-round seasonal pageantry, the question isn’t when to visit Maine, but how often.
