One of the benefits of living in Maine is the ability to stay right here at home to have an awesome vacation. Whether it’s a summertime beach trip or a winter getaway to the mountains, you can feel miles away from everyday life simply by hopping in the car and heading to an unfamiliar part of the state. If you’re planning a trip like that, consider this beautiful slice of heaven near both lakes and mountains.
For the best adventure you can have in Maine, head to The Forks for a vacation at Northern Outdoors Resort.
