When it comes to scenic drives, Maine has plenty to pick from. Whether you want to see ocean vistas and charming harbor towns, streams meandering along winding back roads, rural farmland, stunning lakes, or majestic mountains, Maine has it all wrapped up into one state. And for those of you who prefer more nature and less cars, you’re in luck–some of the most scenic roads in Maine are found away from the tourist path.
Why not celebrate the vibrant fall with a full day river rafting trip or the aforementioned escape to the woods? Dam releases guarantee great water levels all fall, and the river stays warm long after the air turns crisp. Northern Outdoors will be rafting right into the middle of October (October 12, to be exact) so you can splash in the water and do some serious leaf peeping at the same time.
Up here in Maine, we are more than Leaf Peepers – oh yes indeed. We are Leaf Hunters – we take seriously the business of immersing ourselves in one of the most spectacular color shows of nature.
Our friends at L-A Harley-Davidson in nearby Lewiston, Maine have put together a classic Maine Touring Ride that covers the best of the state and offers the chance to win prize some great prizes.

Cruising north out of Skowhegan on U.S. Route 201, you top a hill and a view opens up before you – mountains roll to the horizon and the sky doubles in size. On your left, in a grassy area, is a sign announcing you are now driving on the Old Canada Road National Scenic Byway. Informational plaques on stands offer information about the mountains before you and the history of the area.
