Cross Country Skiing and Snowshoeing in Maine

The Maine Office of Tourism has a webpage that provides information on cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in Maine.  Below in quotes is an excerpt of the page:
"On a crisp, sparkling winter day, one of the most magical ways to take in Maine’s landscape is to venture out on cross-country skis or snowshoes. There are nearly two dozen commercial cross-country touring centers that offer beautiful well-groomed trails totaling more than 700 kilometers for skiers and snowshoers alike. Tour through our pine-scented forests, feel the sun’s warmth reflecting off the snow and listen for the chickadees in the clean crisp air. Maine’s cross country ski centers and winter guide services offer gear and access to miles of trails, where you can discover the majesty of a snow-blanketed forest, the wonder of a bright-white expanse of meadow, and the awesome beauty of the crashing blue Atlantic surf. After an exhilarating day on the trail, retreat to one of our cozy inns, warm yourself by the fire, and rest up for another day on the trails."

I went cross country skiing at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester, Maine & I absolutely loved it. I would recommend this sport to anyone that wants to get outside in the winter! :)
