Here Are 19 Stunning Scenic Drives You Have to Take in Maine

Maine has it all.

Rocky shores, sandy beaches, gorgeous mountain peaks, stunning farmland, we truly have it all.

No matter what landscape you personally find to be the most ‘beautiful’, a drive through Maine will present many varieties.

I may be biased but I love so many different things about this state, but one of my favorite parts is simply driving around. Whether you’re on the main route or a back road, there’s always something beautiful to see even if it’s just a second glimpse of a lake or mountain in the distance.

I lived in Florida for a few years where all you see is flat land and gas stations. I was appreciative of Maine before my time there but I am even more grateful now.
