What Locals & Visitors have to say

The Caribou Commentary

“What struck me most about my visit to Caribou was the community spirit. In every business we visited, the owner knew my local friend by name and wanted to share what I should see and do while I was visiting.”

"Caribou is so welcoming, and heartwarming, and for those reasons, among many, Caribou will always be home."

"Since moving away, I make it a priority to come home every summer! Summertime here in Caribou is always jam-packed, but we always find time to spend a few afternoons floating down the Aroostook River! I’m not sure if it’s the sound of the water, the warm sun or watching the countless eagles fly overhead, but it’s so peaceful and I still find myself in awe of the County’s beauty!"

“The restaurants in Caribou were fantastic. We wanted to extend our trip just to go again to try something else on the menu! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We will be back.”

"I grew up in Caribou my whole life and had no idea how extensive and amazing the snowmobile trail system is here until I married my husband who is an avid rider. We come to Caribou every February to visit family and ride. It is our favorite family trip of the year."
