Aroostook County is the northernmost region
of Maine, and is the largest county east of the
Mississippi River. It borders the Canadian provinces
of New Brunswick and Quebec, and is often referred
to as "The County," dominating wide open spaces
of farmland that produce potatoes, broccoli and
peas, among others.
Numerous cultural and sporting events as well as
festivals, draw visitors to the region throughout the
year. During the spring and summer months, you
can enjoy camping, fishing, canoeing or kayaking.
Hike through acres of wooded paths, or cruise along
fi elds of potato blossoms. Fall brings a delightful
change to the landscape as the foliage shows off its
glorious colors. While the winter months continue
with snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating
and snowmobiling.
Wildlife is abundant in the Aroostook region. You
may catch a moose munching on grass in a nearby
pond, a white tail deer or even a bald eagle cresting
a ridge with a fish hanging from its talons.
On your next drive-through, be sure to include
the Aroostook region to your agenda.
