Start your trip in Portland, a city where arts and adventure are one and the same.

Route 302 stretches from the city to the countryside, passing by forests, rivers, and hills. Take a picnic lunch near Naples at Sebago Lake State Park, where you can stroll along the sandy beaches of Maine's deepest lake. Or try a short detour to Gray to visit the Maine Wildlife Park, a haven for orphaned and injured wildlife including moose, mountain lions, black bears, and more.
Follow Route 302 until you reach the small town of Fryeburg, which sits on the border of Maine and New Hampshire. Just in time for peak fall colors, the Fryeburg Fair runs during the first week of October. Stop by and enjoy rides, prize-winning animals, and classic fair food!
