Camping
Northern Maine was made for outdoor enjoyment! Highlighted by a low rolling countryside, Aroostook County offers more than 2,000 lakes, streams, and rivers, and plenty of opportunities for camping, hiking, biking, golfing, and canoeing.
Known simply to Mainers as “The County,” it is larger in area than the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. Dotted with rolling farmlands that produce more than 40 million bushels of potatoes each year, the countryside is covered each July with white potato blossoms.
Outdoor enthusiasts especially love “The County” because it offers unlimited opportunities for hiking, fishing, unrivaled canoe trips, and whitewater rafting during spring runoff.
While Presque Isle and Caribou are the commercial centers of “The County,” much activity is centered in smaller towns such as Fort Fairfield, which hosts the annual Potato Blossom Festival, and New Sweden which celebrates its Swedish heritage with a traditional Sommerfest each summer.
