— THE STORY BEHIND IT

In 1937, the Maine Legislature designated the Pine Tree Trail — a 500-mile route created to lead travelers through the inland part of the state: its cities and small towns, forests and farmland, river valleys and quiet lake country, from nearly end to end, south to north.

 

In time, the name faded from the maps. The road, and the towns along it, remained.

Today, nearly ninety years on, the trail is charted once again, now with an interactive map of the full route, featuring the cities, towns, local businesses, and other stops worth pulling over for. Whether you're planning the drive or hoping to welcome the travelers rediscovering it, there's a place for you on the trail. If you like our mission, we'd love to hear from you. Have fun and travel safe.
