Knox County, Maine

Knox County sits on the rugged coast of Maine, about midway between Portland and Bangor. It’s a place where lobster is king and the salty air fills your lungs.
Rocky beaches and pine-covered hills dominate the landscape. Locals are proud of their maritime heritage with fishing villages all over the place.
Rockland is the county seat, which hosts the annual Maine Lobster Festival. A must-see if you’re in town. But never take a lobster home as a pet or you might end up being like Homer Simpson and eating it.
