3. Sunday River Bridge, Newry

The 100-foot structure spanning the Sunday River in western Newry was built in 1872. And it actually goes by two names — more formally, the Sunday River Bridge. While many believe it got its informal name — Artist's Bridge — as a result of it being one of the most scenic places in ME, there's actually another reason. One of the country's first impressionist painters, John Enneking, is said to be the reason for its notable name. Find out why Sunday River Bridge is a bucket list place in ME.

4. Reid State Park, Georgetown

6. Port Clyde, Knox County

Port Clyde is actually a part of St. George, which has an overall population of approximately 2,500.
