Must see in Maine?
We are starting to plan 2020 trips and Maine is on list. My wife and I visited Acadia close to 20years ago and talk ever since about a trip back. Thinking to break trip up with few days on Deer island...

After spending almost two months in the Atlantic provinces, we thought we would return to Ontario through Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Although Acadia NP was interesting, Bar Harbour was kind of a let down. It was so busy, you couldn't find a place to park. It was people herded in like sheep. I realize some may not want to leave the country for various reasons, but the high tides of the Bay of Fundy are a force of nature. Maybe because we had spent so much time in Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, that Maine just seemed kind of a let down. It was like places on the Bay of Fundy, just without the high tides. Maine was very scenic, but if you have the time, carry on to the Bay of Fundy, especially at the ends of the bays. The natural marvels of the high tides are something to see. Daily averages are 40 to 50 feet. The highest recorded was 73 feet at Burntcoat Head, Nova Scotia.
