Mount Katahdin, the highest peak in Maine and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail is located just south of Houlton. When you mention the state of Maine, most people immediately think of “The Great Outdoors”. Majestic mountains, rugged coastline, expansive forests, clean lakes – nature the way it was.
