“Old Canada Road” Route 201, Maine, USA.

U.S. Route 201 (aka Old Canada Road National Scenic Byway) follows old river trading routes of the Abenaki people. Benedict Arnold made part of this interconnected network of waterways famous during the Revolutionary War when he led soldiers up the Kennebec and Dead rivers, to lay siege to the French settlement at Quebec.

 

On June 15, 2000, the route was designated a National Scenic Byway. The vitality of the region is bolstered by the area’s working forests and Route 201's important role of linking Canada and the U.S. by the Armstrong–Jackman Border Crossing at Sandy Bay Township.
