Popular Maine Motorcycle Routes

Motorcycling in Maine can be an amazing way to see some of the most beautiful parts of the state. Below, we have included some of our favorite motorcycling routes in Maine based on rides we have taken or rides recommended by experienced bikers we know in Maine.

Maine has some of the most beautiful roads for motorcycling, including:

• Historic Route 1 Coastal Route
  This classic bucket list ride for many bikers starts at the Maine-Canada border in Fort Kent, Maine. From there, the Route 1 coastal route takes bikers 2,369 miles to the southern tip of Florida in Key West.
• Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway
  This winding ride on State Route 17 and Route 4 takes bikers onto two scenic overlooks past lakes, mountains, and streams in this rugged western part of the state near Rangeley Lake. No wonder this winding route has been designated a National Scenic Byway.
• Acadia National Park Loop
  At 27 miles long, this route through Acadia National Park packs a lot of scenic spots into a short distance. The one-way road through Maine’s only national park takes bikers past mountains, rugged coastline, and through dense forests, plus popular park attractions like Cadillac Mountain and Thunder Hole, a dramatic rock formation where waves crash along the shore at high tide.
• Northern Route 201
  This scenic route follows US Route 201 through the Kennebec River Valley from Brunswick to the Canadian border. Known as the “Old Canada Route,” be prepared to see plenty of wildlife (especially moose) and small, charming Maine towns on this National Scenic Byway along portions of the Kennebec River.
