St. John Valley/Fish River National Scenic Byway

At the top of New England, the St. John Valley/Fish River National Scenic Byway stretches for more than 134 miles (215 Km) through the heart of Maine’s historic Acadian country. The byway connects historic sites, museums and historical societies that tell the story of the Acadian heritage shared by northern Maine and neighboring New Brunswick, Canada. Along the route, sweeping views of the St. John and Fish rivers meet rolling farmland, forests and wide-open northern Maine landscapes, with scenic pull-offs offering places to stop and take it all in. Keep your eyes open along the way, too, as moose, deer, bald eagles and even black bears are common sights in this wild and working landscape.
