Posted by mainetodo on Sunday, January 14 @ 08:03:28 PST
Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall: From Madison, Maine, Route 201 winds its way north along beautiful lakes and rivers. Also known as the Old Canada Road this highway is part of the National Scenic Byways Program. The Route snakes its way to the Quebec border passing through quaint, quiet villages and along the upper Kennebec River, Wyman Lake, and the Dead River. There are many four season outfitters along the way offering accomadations, restaurants, whitewater rafting, fishing and hunting trips as well as snowmobile and snowshoe rentals. Driving this road is particularly stunning in September and October when the trees are ablaze in Autumn colors. The rest stop just south of Jackman provides a stellar overlook with views of Holeb and Attean Ponds the Moose River and distant peaks. Jackman is popular spot for snowmobiling and is the
last "town" before you reach the border so be sure to check your gas gage before passing it by. Besides the views and recreational opportunities this area has a lot of history from river run log drives to Benedict Arnold's footsteps.
