Epic Trails & Wilderness
Maine’s Historic Open Access Trails
Aroostook County is America’s ultimate four-season outdoor playground, and The Northeastland Hotel puts you right at the epicenter of the action. Leave directly from our property to access a massive, interconnected network of over 2,300 miles of world-renowned, groomed trails. Whether you are carving through fresh winter powder on a snowmobile or chasing autumn foliage on an ATV, these paths offer unparalleled northern Maine scenery.
When the snow melts, the adventure transitions to water and wilderness. With more than 2,000 lakes and rivers, the region invites you to cast a line for native brook trout, paddle through historic waterways, or simply enjoy a quiet sunset by the shore. Explore over 20 state and municipal parks—including the nearby Aroostook State Park—where pristine hiking trails, lush forests, and majestic wildlife await. This is not just a destination; it is a legendary frontier built for true outdoor enthusiasts.
