If you really think about it—or don’t think at all—hiking is undeniably romantic, especially with your partner. We mean, you’re both sweating, out of breath, maybe taking clothes off depending on comfort—we don’t know, sounds romantic to us!

So, how do we determine the most romantic hiking trail in Maine? And, honestly, what even makes a hiking trail romantic?

In her article ‘The Most Romantic Hiking Trail in Maine for a Valentine’s Day Adventure,’ Jasmine from Only In Your State selected a trail she deemed perfect for couples. Of course, Valentine’s Day has come and gone, and since it was February in Maine—cold, snowy, and not exactly prime hiking weather—we weren’t about to hit the trails.

Now that we've cleared that up, which hiking trail in Maine was recently crowned the most romantic in all of Vacationland?

According to Jasmine from Only In Your State, the most romantic hiking trail in Maine is Knox Mountain, located in the Vernon S. Walker Wildlife Management Area in Newfield. Jasmine describes it as an easy-to-moderate trail with ‘breathtaking summit views’ and a ‘serene setting,’ making it an ideal spot for a romantic hike.

And there you have it! Maine’s most romantic hiking trail is Knox Mountain—whatever that actually means. (Let’s be real, we’re usually too busy huffing and puffing on hikes.)

Have you ever hiked Only In Your State’s top pick? Or do you have a different, more romantic trail in mind? We’d love to hear from you! Join the conversation by messaging us on the app.
