UMaine is located in Orono, a classic college town bounded by the Stillwater and Penobscot Rivers. We’re located just north of Bangor, a city consistently ranked as one of the most desirable places to live for its natural beauty, safety, quality of life and affordability.

Campus is within an easy driving distance from the the Appalachian Trail, great whitewater rafting, outlet shopping, sandy beaches and some of the best skiing in the East. But you don’t need to leave to take advantage of the great outdoors. We have more than 15 miles of groomed trails on campus for walking, biking, cross-country skiing and more.
