It evolves season after season, and has something for everyone, especially for nature and wildlife lovers. This is why it's one of America's most popular family and wedding destinations.

As the easternmost state of the United States, Maine is most famous for its bounty - both from land and sea. They say you haven't tasted lobster until you have tasted those from the Gulf of Maine. Lobster is plentiful in Maine, and they can be cheap.

Maine's most populated city is Portland (not to be confused with Portland, Oregon), while its capital Augusta ranked just 10th in the state. The state is also the least populated state in the country.

Agriculture, forestry, and fishing are the main driving force of the state's economy, as well as manufacturing and taxation. Tourism and outdoor recreations also play a huge role as well.
