Fort Kent is situated at the center of Acadian history in rural northern Maine. It sits on the
very edge of American soil, and stands as a center of international activity. It is home to the
UMaine at Fort Kent, the Olympic biathlete training center, and the annual CAN-AM dogsled
race. It is also on the National Registry of Historic sights for the structure known as the
Blockhouse, which was erected in 1839.
There's an abundance of wildlife and the great outdoors. With all year long activities,
there's never time to get bored. Enjoy hiking, canoeing, biking, fishing, golf and numerous
winter sports.
Caribou takes pride in their community and the quality of life with friendly people, natural
forests an abundance of wildlife, and endless recreational opportunities. After a scenic cruise
up the state of Maine, settle in for some fun; like a round of golf, where you can play in two
countries on the same course on the same day!
Cultural places of interest may include The Caribou Performing Arts Center, The
Nylander Museum, or the Caribou Historical Society to name a few. Caribou is a great place
to enjoy a country fair or festival and of course sightsee. If you ride ATVs, Caribou's trail
system covers 71.5 miles. Trail maps are available at the Caribou Parks and Recreation
Department. And keep an eye out for wildlife! You won't want to miss a giant moose, a deer,
or Canadian geese. Your lodging choices for motorcyclists range from motels and cabins, to
lodges and campground. Good eats abound from local cafe's to fine dining. It's all worth the
stop, before heading Down East.
