Town of Orono

The «island» of Orono… surrounded by the great Penobscot and all of her water-​rapids glory. This is a true New England college town. Most of the residents make up UMaine students and/​or staff or faculty. The downtown scene is quaint, with a few local breweries and restaurants. Not much of a nightlife, but if you’re a lover of the outdoors, there’s plenty to do… snowshoeing, kayaking, moose (meese?) watching, etc.
