Downeast & Acadia
Groups seeking coastal adventure and unparalleled history should seek out the Downeast & Acadia region of Maine! The “down east” is derived from the glory days of sailing when ships departed Boston and sailed down wind to the east. The “Acadia” comes from the region’s rich Acadian culture and heritage, and the beautiful Acadia National Park. Discover Native American history, take a whale watching cruise, pick some local blueberries. Complete with two National Scenic Byway routes, this region is easy to get around, and well worth the getting there!
