MOXIE FALLS
It's not quite off the beaten path, but Moxie Falls is hidden enough that if you aren't looking hard, you might just drive by the trailhead and miss out on one of Maine's highest waterfalls.

COOS CANYON
There are no brochures about the canyon. The only advertising campaign is word-of-mouth. It's a state picnic area on Route 17 about 14 miles north of Mexico, a two-hour drive from Portland.

OLD SOW WHIRLPOOL
The Old Sow Whirlpool is known to produce funnels up to 12 feet in diameter, but more often creates so-called "piglets" - small whirlpools of swirling water.

MACHIAS SEAL ISLAND
If it weren't for the puffins, few people other than lobstermen and lighthouse keepers would make the trip out to this treeless, crescent-shaped island at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy.
