Jackman

Tucked into Maine’s northwest timber country and minutes from the Quebec border, Jackman, Maine is a great spot for outdoor fun. And you can guess how pretty it is, since it’s on the Old Canada Road (Route 201) National Scenic Byway, which connects northwest Maine to Quebec. This historic trade and travel route has grown to become a major sightseeing route between the state and the province.

For a glimpse of just how scenic the neighborhood is, stop in at the Attean Overlook just south of town. It provides a terrific view of the Moose River valley, Attean Pond, and the rivers and streams stretching off to the Canadian border.
