What Are The Biggest ‘Tourist Traps’ In Maine?
Is there anywhere in Maine that you wouldn't go to because it is too “touristy” (Yes, it is a word, I checked)
When the question was posed on social media, it got me to thinking about how much I love Bar Harbor, and Old Orchard Beach, but maybe I don’t enjoy both of those spots as much as I should, because each time I go, there seems to be a ton of traffic and out of state visitors.
Here in Bangor, the Paul Bunyan statue, and Stephen King’s house on West Broadway, certainly come to mind.
Turns out that I am not alone in those thoughts, and on Reddit, many people weighed in with their thoughts on the subject.
We would love to hear what you have to say on this topic too!
