Lubec, Maine holds a distinction that sets it apart from every other town in the contiguous United States: it is the easternmost incorporated municipality in the country. Perched on a narrow peninsula where Cobscook Bay meets Passamaquoddy Bay, Lubec feels like the edge of the world — and in the best possible way. During our 2017 summer road trip through New England and Atlantic Canada, we crossed the short international bridge from Campobello Island, New Brunswick, and spent several unforgettable days soaking in the history, wildlife, and extraordinary light of this remote corner of Maine.

Fundy National Park & Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick: Dickson Falls, Albino Lobster & Bay of Fundy Tides

On our way back to the United States from Nova Scotia, we made a deliberate detour into New Brunswick for a few nights at Fundy National Park — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of the entire summer. A magical waterfall trail, a rare albino lobster, a bottle of Spanish red with fresh pasta and chanterelle mushrooms, and the most dramatic tidal formations on the planet. Not a bad send-off from Canada.

Barton, Vermont: Lake Willoughby, Northeast Kingdom & a New Puppy Named Sadie

Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom is the state’s best-kept secret — a vast, largely undeveloped stretch of forests, farms, and glacial lakes that feels like it was left behind by time in the best possible way. We based ourselves in Barton to visit Sandy’s parents Rich and Sylvia, explore the stunning Lake Willoughby, and meet the newest member of their family: Sadie, an eight-week-old chocolate Labrador who immediately stole the show.
