Aroostook is Maine’s northernmost county and is bordered to the east, west and north by the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec.
Aroostook is often referred to as "The County," with almost empty roads (great for cruising), that dominate wide open spaces of farmland that produce potatoes, broccoli, hay and small grain crops.
Wildlife is abundant in the Aroostook region with so much to see. If you look close enough, you may see a moose munching on grass in a nearby pond, a white tail deer springing off into the woods, or even a bald eagle cresting a ridge with a fish hanging from its talons.
Aroostook offers endless recreational activities, with over 2,000 lakes, rivers and streams, that cover nearly 80,000 acres. Experience cultural and sporting events as well as summer festivals. All this and more continue to draw vacationing motorcyclists to this region throughout the year. During spring and summer you can enjoy camping, fishing, canoeing or kayaking, visit maine.state-park.org for motorcycle-friendly camping. Let your motorcycle rest and take a hike through wooded marked trails or bike along fields of potato blossoms.
Fall days bring cool, crisp mornings and bright sunny days with an awesome display of fall colors. A great way to see the foliage is to ride along one of the two-lane country roads, lined on both sides with brilliant reds, yellows and oranges. Travel various routes through small towns, potato fields in full bloom and over hills to see these colors come alive.
When winter arrives, your bike may be stored but revisiting Aroostook County is well worth the beauty and serenity. The land is covered in a white blanket, walks are peaceful and activities are abundant with snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating and snowmobiling.
Aroostook has much to offer the vacationer of Maine. Be sure to include Aroostook County in your travel plans for a memorable vacation.
