"Cat Ferry" links
Nova Scotia to Maine |

As
a native Nova Scotian, I have always felt somewhat of a kinship
with our American cousins to the Southwest, the State of
Maine, Vacationland USA ! I have a lot of readers who
come up from various parts of the US into the Atlantic Provinces
through Maine. You can drive through the Calais/St. Stephen
border or take the exciting new Cat Hi-Speed ferry from Bar
Harbor to Yarmouth. Our trip “Downeast” in Maine and
the New Brunswick Fundy coast area collectively know as the
“Quoddy Loop” left me with the real sense that our relationship
with Maine is an even closer kinship than first realized.
This coastal area of the state so closely resembles the seaside
areas of my home province, I sometimes had to give my head
a shake to realize that I hadn’t just taken a leisurely drive
down Nova Scotia’s south shore ! Wherever you end up, be assured
the “Quoddy” area seems to be the place the term “quaint
coastal vistas” was invented. |
This
trip can be made many ways and in various stages. We went from
Halifax, Nova Scotia. You can do all or part of the trip
from wherever you end want to begin or end up. This article
will provide you with as much, or as little information as you
need. Including tons of photos, maps, directions,
insights and opinions. Take them or leave them ! You can navigate
to your specific areas of interest through the handy links on
each page. Have fun and happy trails.
