Northern Door Inn - Fort Kent
This is where the eastern United States begins. Here at the
northern tip of Maine, iconic Route 1 begins in the dooryard of
this inn and ends 2400 miles away in Key West, Florida. It is
also the terminus of the 740 mile long Northern Forest Canoe
Trail. Significant patches of boreal forest surround this
community. Birders flock to the area in search of American
Three-toed and Black-backed Woodpeckers, as well as the other
boreal specialists found only in northern Maine. Here in the St.
John Valley, don't be surprised if some native Mainers are
speaking French. The cultural experience is nearly as good as
the birding!
