Orono sits just south of Old Town, Maine, on the Penobscot River. This small town was named for Chief Joseph Orono, a sachem of the Penobscot Nation, whose people have long occupied these lands. It is home to the University of Maine, the state's flagship institution. In large part because of the student population, Orono is full of fun cafes, shops, and restaurants, and is a nice place to stop as you ride around the area.
