Downeast Maine offers untouched scenery and some of the most beautiful views. Confusing to those who aren’t familiar with the state, the region is actually located North of the midcoast. With sparsely populated towns and the kind of lifestyle that feels a bit slower in the best way possible, visiting this area is a great way to unwind and get to know a side of Maine that most people miss. One great way to appreciate it is by heading to this preserve to take in the fresh air.
