Best time of year to visit Maine
Peak season from June through August boasts sweetly warm temperatures and is considered to be the best time to visit Maine. You must admit that nothing can be better than spending hot summer days by a picturesque lake or ocean shore. And don't even think about missing the major Maine Lobster Festival! Spectacular fall foliage is usually displayed from September to November. And be sure to catch the notorious Maine Marathon in which self-respecting runners can prove themselves. December through February is all about winter sports like skiing at famous resorts or ice-skating. You can slow down and view Christmas lights in and around Portland as well. Spring brings heavy rains and muddiness after snowmelt. However, this is the time when everything is blooming, so don't miss the much-talked-of Flower Show in Portland.
