The Pine Tree Trail
The Pine Tree Trail is a rich exploration of the State of Maine and is the connection of rural areas to village centers by way of long forgotten backroads. This is Maine’ s answer to Route 66 and was established to commemorate Maine’ s bicentennial, the trail tours visitors off the beaten path to the timber and agricultural centers, particularly the significant role of the logging industry and potato farming. The route begins in Portland and passes through towns like Augusta, Bangor, Houlton, and Fort Kent. Make the most of your roadtrip by stopping at historical sites, museums, and landmarks from the Aroostook War and the county’ s heritage. Tour the real Maine on a meaningful journey through backroads.
