Get Away for the Holidays
It’s hard not to love the holiday season, but there’s some extra magic when you get to spend it in Maine. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that when it snows, you’ll feel like you’re living in a postcard.

Maine is home to over 6,000 lakes and ponds, meaning fishing is merely a matter of choosing a clear and vibrant body of water and the right tackle.
Kid-Friendly Restaurants
Portland’s reputation as a culinary destination doesn’t overshadow the options visitors will find for kids and families.
