It would be easy to say that “these days” we love exploring new areas of Maine to soak up the beauty. But the reality is that we want to do this “all days.” That’s because there’s just so much to see and enjoy here. No matter the season, no matter the weather, we crave a good trip outside to clear our heads, find some peace and remember just why we keep on keeping on. If you’re of the same mindset, make your way to this beautiful area.

To find Witherle Woods Preserve make your way to Castine, located in Hancock County.
