Waldo County, Maine
Waldo County sits on the rugged coast of central Maine, stretching inland from Penobscot Bay. This piece of New England is home to about 40,000 folks spread across rolling hills and rocky shores.
Belfast is the county seat. It buzzes with a mix of old-school maritime vibes and new artsy energy. Lobster boats and sailboats fill the harbors.
Inland, you’ll find quiet towns, family farms, and thick forests perfect for hiking or hunting. Like much of rural Maine, Waldo County has its share of postcard photos.
