The distance to northern Maine, how many miles?
How far to Houlton Maine from your end is hard telling without knowing where you are now! How far from here to there, to get you to Maine is going to take how long? Well, Maine is a big state.
Daily run into folks on line, over the phone and when away on vacation that ask the age old question.
The one about how far to Houlton Maine.
And for many we know here it comes. When they initially share that they have been to Maine and that we must be near that same place.
No, we are not right next door to the Kittery Maine shopping outlets.
The location that is barely into Maine that is only a few whiskers across the big green bridge that connects to New Hampshire on the south end of Vacationland. Near Wells Beach, York Beach area?
Keep going… Higher up into Maine.
Maine is the largest of the New England states remember? My Aroostook County is the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined all by it self.
Next up, I’ve been to Bar Harbor, Portland Maine on a cruise ship is shared.
We getting warmer? So Houlton Maine is handy to that location right?
No, Maine is one big state. And the county I live in, Aroostook is the largest of the sixteen. Heck, you can go two hours north of where I list and sell real estate in Maine. If you do, welcome to the St John River Valley up in the crown of Maine.
So think Interstate 95 that starts in Houlton Maine, ends up in Key West Florida.
The Interstate 95 corridor joins the Atlantic Trans Canada highway that leads to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island 
to due east into the Atlantic Maritime Canadian Provinces. I-95 has a raised, legal speed limit of 75 miles per hour north of Orono Maine.
So zipping, clipping north at a good rate means no traffic traveling up into all parts of Maine.
Unless you count deer, moose as highway obstacles to watch out for, to avoid hitting on the trip up Interstate 95. Northern Maine is like being at an outdoor natural Disney Land. But no lines at Space Mountain, any of the rides. Cool.
