Want to see the Aurora Borealis for yourself ?
Why Aroostook ?
You don ’ t have to book a trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights yourself .

The area ’ s clear , cool air and low humidity provide excellent visibility , particularly during the fall and winter months .
Best Times of Year
Fall ( September to November ): September and October offer a good chance of seeing the aurora borealis due to increased geomagnetic activity around the equinoxes . Fall often has clear skies , which are essential for viewing the aurora .
Winter ( December to February ): The longer nights and increased darkness during winter provide more opportunities to see the aurora . While it can be very cold , the clear winter skies can be ideal for aurora viewing .
