Featured Market: Maine

This market includes Augusta, Bangor, Freeportv, Kittery and Portland, among other areas.

Maine is known as the "Vacation State," in part because it boasts over 6,000 lakes, 32,000 miles of rivers, 5,000 miles of coast (more than California) and 17 million acres of forestland.

Only 95 roads in the United States have been designated National Scenic Byways or All-American Roads, and Maine is home to four of them. Each of Maine's scenic byways includes archaeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational, and scenic qualities that make them well worth the visit.

Maine offers something for every lifestyle, from the shopping outlets in Kittery and Freeport (home of LL Bean); fresh lobster and New England clam chowder in a downtown Portland restaurant; taking children to the Maine Discovery Museum in Bangor; and exploring the state capital in Augusta, to golfing at one of the 120 golf courses in Maine and snowmobiling over 12,000 miles of trails or skiing 2,000- foot verticals. Call Maine your home, and you'll have the beach, mountains and city life all within your reach.
