DON’T-MISS POINTS OF INTEREST

There’s more to explore in the Pine Tree State.

Hike the Trail

Monson is the last town hikers pass through on the way to Mount Katahdin and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Stop at the visitor center to see a scale model of the mountain, get your trail passport stamped, or hear the latest updates

on trail conditions. appalachiantrail.org

Puffins and Lighthouses

If you’re in Maine over the summer, consider taking the Puffin and Lighthouse Cruise in Bar Harbor. The trip visits three lighthouses and Petit Manan, an island that is home to a nesting colony of puffins.

Spanning Time

Low’s Covered Bridge outside of Guilford harkens back to an era when horse-drawn carriages gracefully traversed

country roads.

Side Trip

When in Maine, don’t miss the chance to visit Acadia National Park. It’s about a three-hour drive from Piscataquis County, but the scenery and the coast are worth the ride.
