Motorcycle trip to Caribou Maine

My husband and I, along with 4 family members are planning a bike trip in June to Madawaska Lake, Caribou, Freeport etc. Any ideas/tips about traveling,shopping, eating,and events. We are still in the planning stages so any information would be helpful. We already have family to stay with but would like to know more about what the locals call a ';loggers'; rode, suppose to be a very scenic route to take on motorcycles. Thanks in advance. JC

Not sure what kind of bikes you are bringing, but I wouldn%26#39;t put my cruiser on a logging road ever. Maybe if you had an on/off road BMW or something of that nature. If you do take the loggers roads, amke sure you have a gps, because maps won%26#39;t be that useful if they are not up to date...

I can%26#39;t help you with the logging roads except to note that those roads belong to the loggers---and they can prove it. So be careful.

In Freeport, we enjoy eating at Azure Cafe. We only have had lunch there, but if dinner is anything like lunch, it%26#39;s worth the stop.

Rt. 11 is scenic. In the town of Portage Lake, stop in at Deans for lunch or dinner. Only about 30-45 minutes away from Fort Kent on the US/Canada border.

Be alert for loggin trucks on Rt. 11. The logging roads, ';in the woods'; are owned/maintained by the logging companies (North Maine Woods). Bikes/atv not permitted. Stick to Rt. 11 or other local roads.
