We compiled this local travel guide to help Mainers explore our own state this summer, whether you join the crowds at a tourist hot spot or follow the road less traveled. Read a book set in Maine, and visit the small town that inspired the writer. Build your own road trip through Maine’s food and drink trails. Take up hiking, and find yourself on the summit of Katahdin. Whether you’re “from away” or looking for your next staycation, let us help you make the most of the season.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
You can read more here about our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is also found on our FAQs.
