...It depends where you want to go.
However, more than 200' of chain is rarely needed.
Do not mix chain length with the complete length of the anchor line.
I have 200' of 3/8" BBB chain with 350' of 5/8" nylon cable
 
200' of chain is more than enough for anchoring in Maine. I seldom put out more than 110'.

In a lot of Maine, obviously in all the places you've anchored, yes. But certainly not all of Maine, that's for sure.
