The northern-most of Maine's scenic byways, State Route
11 follows the rolling hills between Portage and Fort Kent. This drive
offers outstanding views of wildflower meadows, Eagle Lake and Maine's
tallest peak, Mt. Katahdin. Because much of the route is forested, you
might catch a glimpse of eagles and moose along the way.
Route 11 is a primary north-south corridor connecting Aroostook
County, Maine with New Brunswick, Canada. Settled by the French-Acadians
in the 19th century, the region is proud of the strong Acadian influence
on its food and cultural traditions.
