Bon Appetit has great things to say about Portland, ME, but that’s just a fraction of its offerings. Beyond the amazing fresh seafood and worldly palate, explore the art/music scene, brew pubs and ice bars, or hop on a ferry (year round) and enjoy the views on the bay or bike one of the many islands. Shop the Old Port. Walk the wharf and witness a fishermen’s life.

There are MANY hiking/biking/cross country ski trails scattering the area, so a copy of the Saco Bay Trails Guidebook is in the Lofts Library for your reference. But if time is limited, we recommend visiting a portion of the Eastern Trail or the Saco Heath, both just a short car trip.
