The Pine Tree Trail
U.S. Route 2, Molunkus, ME · runs from Portland to Fort Kent
Maine’s oldest designated scenic driving route, established by the Legislature in 1937 and running some 500 miles from Portland to Fort Kent — with the eastern stretch of Route 2 through Molunkus, beside New Limerick, as part of it. Look for the white tin hexagon signs with the green pine tree, and for the roadside oddities: the Molunkus Hermit billboard, Houlton’s Boy and the Boot statue, the Mars Hill potato barrel tree and the Maine Tribute Moose in Van Buren.
