Way up in a little tiny town on the Canadian border is a winter wonderland just waiting to be explored. The Christmas Forest in Perry, Maine, may be out of the way for most of us, but this holiday season you should make the trip to enjoy an enchanted forest walk. We have a few other suggestions to make a whole day out of it along the way too. So get ready for a truly Down East Christmas.

Enter the woods and be transported on a magical Christmas adventure. The Christmas Forest will have guests walking a ¼ mile trail filled with over 50,000 lights. That is enough lights to illuminate the forest making your walk feel enchanted.
