What Locals & Visitors have to say

The Caribou Commentary

"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!"

"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."
