Winter throughout New England offers a wonderful mix of both beauty and fun activities outdoors. Each of the states here is great for that, but Maine is extra special in the winter. If you love the change of seasons, including soft snow and the exhilarating cold, there’s no better place to be. People flock to Maine throughout the year to enjoy everything nature has to offer, but I tend to love it even more in the middle of the winter season. If you agree, or if cold-weather exploration is new for you, a great spot to visit is this frozen waterfall in Maine. Located near Rangeley, Angel Falls is fun to hike to and the views are out of this world.
