Why Visit Maine in the spring?
We know there’s nothing like Maine on a hot summer day, but did you know Maine in the spring offers a unique blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and mingle with the locals charm? Enjoy fewer crowds, lower room prices, and the chance to experience the awakening of nature, from blooming flowers and the return of wildlife to the crisp, clean air and yes, fresh seafood. The hotel and lodging rates are lower, the hiking trails are less crowded (and extra muddy), and all of Maine’s glorious greens are getting ready to shine.
Storefronts are spring cleaning, rollilng out all the colors of the season. Everyone is trying to get as much sun as possible after a long dark Maine Winter. Stroll down to the harbor and you will notice the boats are being uncovered, scraped, painted or polished. The waterfront is in full bustle, and the sounds of sailors, fisherman and gulls fill the crisp air. I saw a family yesterday in the harbor park watching the activity, eating lunch in their car from The Zack Shack.
Spring showers? Indoor Activities That Will Surprise You.
Of course the Farnsworth is open in the spring, and the quiet galleries and eager docents offer a relaxing and engaging experience.It allows for a closer look at the art, a more personalized visit, and fewer distractions than peak season visits. There are also many classes, exhibits and offerings being added all the time, be sure to check out their website. Another favorite spot on a rainy day is the Owls Head Transporation Musuem.
We have so many visitors who arrive with a familiar sticker, letting us know they stopped on their way up the coast in Boothbay Harbor and visiting the Botanical Gardens. I’m going to do a whole post on a day visit to Boothbay soon, so if thats on your agenda this year, stay tuned! May 1st is opening day for Maine botanical Gardens.
