Some of the most dramatic mountainous trails are found in Cutler , a small fishing village on the east coast of Maine.
Thousands of acres of the quiet town are set aside for public land for recreation and wildlife which has left the land and water in pristine condition.
There are three nature preserves at Cutler and visitors can also venture over to Machias Seal Island to check out the lighthouse and puffins that call the rock coast home.
The lighthouse has seasonal open house days and even overnight stays on select dates.
Visitors can also take boat or kayak chartered tours to the Cross Island National Wildlife Refuge. The only stores are in the nearby Cutler Naval Base. Cutler Map
