Mt the very peak, makes very interest
ing trip from Portland. Once at the
lake, the average motorist will most
certainly want to linger for few days
If not longer.
Another route from Portland that is
traversed by many tourists is the route
that leads to Quebec. From Portland
Brunswick, then follows route 201 UP
the beautiful valley of the Kennebec
River for 100 miles passing through
Augusta, Skowhegan, Scion, Bingham,
The Forks, Lake Parlin to Jackman,
thence over the boundary line into the
Province of Quebec and on to the St.
Lawrence and the city Of Quebec.
Moosehead Lake, the largest Of all
Maine lakes, is another objective that
motorists head for when entering the
Pine Tree State. MooSehead lies like a
mirror Of FURNISHED silver, amid its
setting Of hills and mountains with
the massive crag Of Mount Kineo tow
ering a thousand feet above 1t. The
lake is 40 miles long and Kineo Is about
in the middle. This lake is one Of the
most popular fishing resorts In the
State and its popularity is well deserved.
To reach Moosehead from Portland
the motorist should run to Augusta,
then through Waterville, PittSfleld, New
port, Dover-Foxcroft and Monson to
Greenville at the lower end of the lake.
Steamer service is maintained on the
lake. But many o motorist, instead of
seeking Names inland beauties, will
probably prefer to follow along the
coast.
From Portland, continuing on along
route No. /, we come to Rockland
Breakwater, the center of the Penobscot
Bay region. Here the Summer motorist
will hold an exquisite sea view, while
back from the water rise the Camden
Mountains amid the glory of forests and
lakes.
A Thriving City.
From Rockland, continuing on UP
the coast, heading for Bar Harbor, the
motoriSt will find the preferable route
Is to run via Camden, Belfast, Frank
fort to Bangor, a thriving industrial
city and an excellent place for the mo-
torist to stop over II he wishes to make
short trips into the surrounding coun-
try and to the seashore. Bangor is
popular all the year round-in the
Spring 1t entertains the fishermen, es-
pecially in May and June, for within
the CITY limits lies the Bangor Salmon
Pool, the only large pool in the United
States where Atlantic salmon are still
taken on the ny. In the Summer, come
the golfer and the tourist, in the Fall
the hunter and In the Winter the lover
Of outdoor sports such as skating, ski
ing. toboggantng and ice-fishing.
From Bangor we run down through
Ellsworth to Bar Barbor on Mount
Desert Island, the largest of the group
Of many islands east Of Penobscot Bay.
Its general shape Is circular, cut deep
ly into east and west halves by SomeS
Sound, the only ford or glacial estuary
east Of the North Pacific Coast and
south Of Newfoundland. Here on Mount
Desert Island the Government selected
the site for their first national park
beside the ocean. Formerly known as
Lafayette National Park, it has this
year been called Acadia National Park
Here the mountains literally rise from
the sea, presenting contrasts of tower
ing heights reflected in the blue ocean,
such as are nowhere else on the At
lantic coast.
Bar Harbor, long rated as one Of
the famous watering places Of the
world, is the mecca each Summer for
