The Desert of Maine in Freeport is a 20-acre expanse of rolling sand dunes surrounded by pine forest — a striking geological anomaly formed by glacial activity thousands of years ago. What was once farmland slowly turned into a desert as the topsoil blew away. Visitors can take guided tours, play mini-golf, camp, or glamp among the dunes. It’s one of Maine’s most unique and surprising roadside attractions. Learn more on the official website.
