The “Top of Maine” refers to Estcourt Station, the northernmost inhabited place in the state. It sits right on the international border between Maine and Québec/New Brunswick and is one of the most unique geographic spots in New England.
What makes Estcourt Station special isn’t just its latitude, but its history and remoteness.
Getting there is part of the experience. The roads are remote, services are limited, and it’s not a place most people reach by accident—so going with a guide just makes sense. (That’s us!)
For those exploring the North Maine Woods, Estcourt Station represents a true edge-of-the-map destination and a memorable stop at the very top of the state.
