When is the best time to visit Maine? Where are the best spots to visit?|148628

I am interested in seeing the coast. Do some hiking and eating some lobster. Where are the BEST places to do these things. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

well you could condense this into one trip and one location and visit Bar Harbor/ Acadia National Park during the week or two after labor day. Fly Into Bangor ME and rent a car.
As much as I love hiking in Acadia NP , Hiking Baxter State Park is an incredible experience and if you_re in that area of Maine you gotta go.
Baxter is about 120 mi from Bar harbor which means it_s about 60 miles from Bangor. Baxter is moose country and is a true wilderness area. Baxter also contains a couple of nice surprises which I won_t tell you about.You_ll just have to go there and see for yourself.

I_m not sure about the best places to get some lobster, but if you want to hike, I would do it in May/June when the weather is nice. Winters in Maine are long and brutal and hiking wouldn_t be fun in those months!

Summer is probably best, the weather will be nice---Kennebunkport is a great little town with the best lobster place--Mabel_s Lobster Claw---enjoy!!

Bar Harbor, Kittery, Bath...Sept or October time frame it_s cool enough for walking and you might just hit the right time for the foliage.
