There are many guides to Maine, but we've often thought they leave out some of the best things to do and see, especially the area we love most -- Downeast Maine.

We're going to tell you some real treats that are often overlooked, and take you on some of the overgown paths that lead to some of Maine's hidden treasures. We'll also tell you what to avoid.

We concentrate on Downeast Maine, especially the Ellsworth-to-Bar Harbor area, including Acadia National Park. We hope that you enjoy your visit, and we know that you'll find somany interesting places to visit and things to do.
