Welcome to The Maine Highlands - The natural wonder of Maine. It's a place where the pathways are yours to create. Where adventure is not choreographed and wilderness is not just a memory. Welcome to a stunning tapestry of mountains and lakes, rivers, hills and valleys. Welcome to life at a different pace, rich in life's finer and simpler pleasures. The Maine Highlands comprises the heart of northern and central Maine. Woven throughout an area almost the size of Massachusetts are several distinct regions that combined offer an exciting array of vacation possibilities:

• The City of Bangor offers something quite unique: small, culturally rich but in close proximity to truly unspoiled nature. Located just off of I-95, Bangor is a trouble-free drive from anywhere in the northeast.
  
  
• Bangor International Airport offers frequent and affordable flights to the region with major carrier service from many national hubs. On-site car rental and accommodation services get you out and on your way with ease.
  
  
• The University of Maine located just north of Bangor in Orono, offers an abundance of educational, cultural, and athletic opportunities.
  
  
• The Sebasticook Valley Area just west of Bangor, welcomes you with gentle, rolling hills and quite a number of ways to get you out on the water in no time.
  
  
• The Southern Piscataquis Region is home to many charming small towns that still retain the architecture and closeness of another era.
  
  
• Lincoln Lakes Region and Penobscot River are a sportsman’s and boater’s paradise. Visitors to the area enjoy public access to Mattanawcook Lake right in downtown Lincoln.
  
  
• The Katahdin Region , about an hour's drive north of Bangor, is a true vacation paradise where the dramatic vistas of Mount Katahdin and Baxter State Park unfold along with untold number of recreational activities including whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and crosscountry skiing!
  
  
• Moosehead Lake Region , to the west has beautiful mountains offer hiking experiences for all abilities as well as bird watching, scenic vistas, mountain biking, skiing, snow boarding and ice climbing and of course, some of the finest Moose watching in Maine.
