Read MoreSummer Checklist: Take a Ferry from Portland to Nova Scotia /
"The Cat,” a high-speed ferry, officially re-opened for business on Wednesday, allowing Americans to flee the domestic eastern seaboard and be kayaking, hiking, and camping in Nova Scotia in half the time that it used to take. Last year, a different boat sailed between Portland, Maine, and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, taking a longer route. Though it was a bit cheaper to take (with fares starting at $89), time is money — as many East Coasters know all too well — and the newly christened Cat is saving travelers a lot of time.
The ferry offers daily departures at 2:30 p.m. from Portland and arrives in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, at 8:30 p.m. This schedule cuts the normal travel time down by nearly five hours, since driving the 418 miles from Portland to Nova Scotia along I-95 takes over nine hours. The new route of The Cat whittles that journey down to 185 nautical miles and just five-and-a-half hours of travel time.
One-way fares start at $107 for adults and $199 for vehicles. And since the ferry is a retired Navy vessel, there is plenty of room onboard. The boat can accommodate 750 passengers, as well as 200 cars. On board, distract yourself with food, a bar, movie lounges, a kids' play area, gift shop, and more (or, you know, the views).
Upon arrival, passengers will have access to the Atlantic Canadian province, which boasts wilderness lodges and over 62 miles of trails dotted with 29 heritage sites, lighthouses, campsites, and the best courses to hit the links. Time to start planning...

Read MoreYou've Probably Committed a Federal Crime in a National Park /
The outdoors is a great place to let loose and feel free from the rules of everyday life — and our 58 national parks comprise some of the most beautiful, accessible places to get away from it all. But even the National Parks are subject to some surprisingly specific and unconventional laws. So while you plan your next backcountry adventure, keep these weird legislative edicts in mind — because no one wants to end up behind bars for not burying their poop more than three inches underground in Shenandoah National Park (yes, that’s a federal offense). And as quirky and odd as some may sound, remember these laws are in place for good reason: To keep visitors safe as they embark on their next national park adventure.
