clear lakes; The County is worth the
drive. Spot Katahdin from Rt. 11 or
from the final bits of I-95 before it
ends in Houlton. US-1 allows for spectacular
views (known as the Million

trips offer beauty in virtually every
direction, and nights often bring the
mysterious Northern Lights. Sporting
types who travel here in the winter
know that cruising takes on an alternate
meaning with more than 1,000
miles of snowmobiling trails - doing
double duty as ATV trails in warmer
weather. Along the western edge,
Rt. 11 skirts an endless sea of deep
green that makes up the more than
three million acres of working forestland
of The North Maine Woods. And
if you're planning on coming, don't
forget your paddle because The
County is home to the 92 miles of
the Allagash Wilderness Waterway,
a place many believe is the last truly
wild waterway in our country.
