Exploring the nature of Maine is one of the best ways to enjoy your time in Vacationland. In addition to hiking, beaches and beautiful parks we’ve also got a fair few lesser-known natural places. Some of the best are the caves that dot both the coast and the inland region. We might not be known for these geological wonders, but they’re no less impressive than the many mountains and beaches. The best part? You’re not likely to find a lot of crowds at any of these spots. The Devil’s Den in Maine is our favorite. It’s far less known than places like Moose Cave in Grafton Notch and it comes complete with a roaring waterfall!
