► 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!
