About Howland

Howland sits right where the Piscataquis and Penobscot Rivers meet, offering a quiet, small-town setting about thirty minutes north of Bangor along Interstate 95. That direct highway access makes commuting into the city easy while keeping daily life relaxed and rural. Originally settled as a mill and logging community along the waterways, Howland retains its practical Maine roots, peaceful neighborhoods, and scenic riverfront views.

Howland, Maine

Life here revolves around the water and the surrounding woods. Updated bridges link both sides of the rivers with pathways designed for walkers, ATVs, and snowmobilers connecting directly to statewide trail systems. With local boat launches, riverfront green spaces, and endless backcountry nearby, the town makes a comfortable home base for anyone who enjoys fishing, paddling, and year-round outdoor recreation.
