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. Aroostook County is an ideal destination due to its exceptionally dark skies, thanks to minimal light pollution and its remote, sparsely populated location. 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.
