The corridor passes through a forested, mountainous landscape crossing the height of land between the Chaudière and Kennebec valleys. The corridor links small settlements in the otherwise rural and scenic area. This section of Route 201, which runs from the border south to Solon, has been designated a National Scenic Byway for its spectacular views. The Kennebec River, joined at The Forks by the Dead River, provides what is widely considered to be the best white water sport opportunity in the northeastern U.S., and the Appalachian Trail, the nation’s legendary hiking trail, crosses the corridor at Caratunk. The Forest Highlands region is a great area for outdoor recreation.
