11 Places You Must Visit In The State Of Maine
Sunrise Guide

Maine: The Way Life Should Be. Why exactly is that their motto? Honestly, because it is 100% true. The state of Maine is filled with natural beauty, fun adventures and amazing wildlife. I have been coming to Maine ever since I was a little toddler, and I still have not seen a lot of it. There are so many places I want to visit. Are you traveling to Maine anytime soon, but not really sure what to go to and see? I'll help you out.

Here are 11 must see places when you find yourself traveling in Maine!

1. Arcadia National Park

Filled with wildlife such as moose and bear, and beautiful landscape. It is 47,000 acres of mountains, lakes, and beaches that will leave you speechless.

2. Bar Harbor, Maine

After you visit Arcadia National Park, go over to Bar Harbor and visit the restaurants, shops, and stay overnight for a few days and enjoy a few days of relaxation. My parents went here and did not take me...still bitter.

3. Lake Sebago

Lake Sebago is honestly an ocean. Being 316 feet deep and covering about 45 square miles in surface area, this lake comes in as the second biggest lake in Maine. Stay at Point Sebago Resort or take a trip over to Frye Island. Visit the beautiful "Eagle Island" where there are a family of Bald Eagles that nest every year.

4. Rick's Cafe: Naples, Maine

Ever find yourself driving through Naples, Maine? Stop by Rick's Cafe and order some awesome food. If you order from the kids menu, your dinner gets served on a frisbee.

5. Maine Wildlife Park

The Maine Wildlife Park located in Gray, Maine is a MUST GO to location. I go there at least once a year (maybe even twice if my mom is being nice). It has so many different species to walk around and see such as Bald Eagles, Moose, Brown Bears, Mountain Lions, and so many others. It is different from your normal zoo because it does not have the typical animals you would see there so it is definitely an amazing place to visit.

6. Shawnee Peak Ski Area

Visiting during the Winter, you definitely have to visit Shawnee Peak and go snow skiing or snowboarding. It is about 45 minutes from my house so my family and I always stop there.

7. Screw Auger Falls

This 23 foot waterfall is discovered by taking a walking path located in Grafton Notch State Park. It is apart of the Bear River and has many different areas to take in Maine's natural beauty.

8. Pemaquid Point Light

This is one of the most photographed places on the Maine coast and I can sure see why.

9. Old Orchard Beach

If you love Maine, but you are more of a beach person rather than a lake person, than Old Orchard Beach is perfect for you. I know so many people that travel here, and even own homes near here making it a perfect destination spot in Maine.

10. Ogunquit, Maine

Located in York, Maine and known as a "Beautiful Place by the Sea", Oqunquit is a prime place to visit. Filled with cultural experiences, shopping, lodging and and excellent food, I definitely will be staying here sometime in my lifetime.

11. Kennebunkport, Maine

Known as "the place to be all year", Kennebunkport is the place to be. With festivals, outstanding food, and beautiful scenery, I want to visit Kennebunkport A.S.A.P.

These 11 places are only SOME of the places to visit in Maine. So after you visit these places I showed above, take some time and adventure off into the state of Maine and be amazed by all of natural beauty.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
