Route 27 trudges through the western mountains of Maine in the Carrabassett River Valley forming a link between the United States and the neighboring province of Quebec, Canada.

With all the activities that the trail has to offer including hiking and biking, as well as the mountains and the Carrabassett River, there is ample opportunity to get out and enjoy the outdoors. From mountaineering and water sports to a slow trek on the trail, this route offers a heap of fun.
