About Caribou
Caribou sits in the heart of Aroostook County, holding the title of the northeasternmost city in the United States. With around 7,400 residents, it offers a peaceful small-town pace surrounded by rolling potato fields and northern woods. The Aroostook River winds right past the center of town, providing quick access to fishing, kayaking, and scenic riverfront trails.
Everyday essentials are close at hand, from Cary Medical Center and a consolidated community school to the local wellness center and public library. Summer brings neighbors outside for the popular Thursdays on Sweden street market, while long, snowy winters open up some of the best snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the country. When you need extra shopping, regional flights, or college courses, Presque Isle is just a short drive down Route 1.
