Howland Travel Plaza

What they do. Who they serve.

Howland Travel Plaza sits at I-95 Exit 217 in central Maine, serving northbound and southbound traffic between Bangor and the Canadian border. This Handy Stop location offers diesel fuel and dedicated truck parking for drivers running the long, remote stretches of northern I-95 where services grow scarce. Open from early morning through evening seven days a week, it provides a reliable refueling point in a corridor where the next truck stop can be sixty miles or more away. The plaza keeps things straightforward: fuel up, park safely, and get back on the road. It's a practical choice for drivers hauling into or out of the Millinocket paper mills, the northern Maine forestry operations, or cross-border lanes into New Brunswick. With a 4.3-star rating from over two hundred reviews, Howland Travel Plaza earns steady marks from the owner-operators and fleet drivers who count on it as one of the few options in this stretch of Maine.
