The Maine

Highlands

Welcome to Maine’s Highlands, a region anchored by the state’s tallest peak, Mount Katahdin, within Baxter State Park. Encompassing Penobscot and Piscataquis Counties, the area offers a perfect mix of outdoor adventure, small-town charm, and distinctive local attractions. Bangor serves as the regional hub, offering shopping, dining, and cultural amenities, and Bangor International Airport serves as the northern part of the state’s travel hub. Surrounding towns provide easy access to city conveniences while preserving a close-knit, small-town feel. Nature enthusiasts can explore hiking along the Appalachian Trail, tackle Mount Katahdin, or enjoy boating, fishing, snowmobiling, and ATV trails at Moosehead Lake and Greenville. Families can visit local farms and top-rated seasonal attractions, while fans of literature and pop culture can connect with Stephen King’s iconic home in the area. With rich Native American heritage, scenic landscapes, and abundant recreational opportunities, The Highlands offers a first-class lifestyle that blends adventure, culture, and everyday living.
