MAINE STATE
Best Time to Go & Visit & Travel to Maine
Maine is very visited in Summer. Coastal cities as Portland,
Ogunquit and Kannebunkenport (near New Hampshire), or Belfast
and Bar Harbor (edging the Acadian National Park) are massively
visited.
Other Maine's sites - mainly its large forests and numerous
lakes - are scarcely visited and largely unknown, partly because of the harsh climate
associated to Maine's inland and north.

BEST TIME TO
TRAVEL TO MAINE
Summer is undoubtedly the best period to visit Maine.
Precipitation is moderate all over the year,
but the
weather is extremely severe and snow very intense in winter and
early spring or late autumn. Most of Maine is under snow all
over this period.
Very cold spells affect the
whole Maine since the end of October till late Spring, specially
in the North and interior, with very severe snowfalls.
WHEN NOT TO GO TO
MAINE
If
you aren't a skier or a hiker and an adept of hard outdoors
sports, avoid winter or even November and early
and mid spring, mainly if you plan to visit the interior or the
North of Maine.
Fall's foliage - as in other sites of New England - causes many thousands of weekenders to
demand the region, and you should want too avoid Autumn's weekends to
avoid crowds.
See, the Maine / Portland Weather Table for details about the
weather:
