Aroostook County — simply called “The County” by Mainers — is the largest county east of the Mississippi, covering more land than Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. This vast, unhurried region is defined by rolling potato fields, working farms, dense forests, and a proud Franco-American heritage. Presque Isle serves as the commercial hub, while Caribou, Fort Kent, and Van Buren offer a glimpse into a way of life unlike anywhere else in New England. The Crown of Maine is a haven for snowmobilers, ATV riders, hunters, anglers, and anyone seeking genuine off-the-beaten-path adventure.
