Penobscot

Penobscot stretches from the forested upper reaches of the Penobscot River to its lower river towns, encompassing Maine’s inland woods, lakes, and settled valleys. The river is central to the area’s geography and remains culturally important to the Penobscot Nation, whose reservation is on Indian Island near Old Town. Bangor, the county seat, became a major nineteenth-century lumber port, while the University of Maine in Orono gives the river corridor a prominent academic presence. Farther north, working forests and quiet roads shape a sparsely settled interior. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Maine connects regionally.
