Located in the northeasternmost part of the United States, only the west side of Maine touches New Hampshire. In addition to its western border with New Hampshire, Maine has a border with Canada to the north, and its eastern border is the Atlantic Ocean. This proximity to the ocean plays a role in the state being the top supplier of lobster to the United States, accounting for more than 90 percent of the nation’s lobster.
