Experiencing All That Maine Offers
continued from page 8

WILDLIFE WATCHING
Maine sits in one of the most advantageous places on the East Coast
for those who love to spot and keep
track of wildlife, especially birders:
Our northern forests welcome a great
many kinds of rare arboreal species,
and the Atlantic Flyway for migrating
waterfowl intersects in a wide swath
across the state. Then there are the
bears, beavers, fox, and the beloved
Maine moose. A wildlife safari led by

a registered professional Maine Guide
can offer lasting memories (and great
photos, too). Those traveling to the
coast are welcome to go whale watching or take a cruise to one of the few
remaining coastal puffin colonies.

NATIONAL AND STATE PARKS
In 2014, Acadia National Park, the jewel of Mount Desert Island, was voted
our nation's most popular national
park, and what a treasure! At over 100
years old (the park was founded in
July 1916), it continues to dazzle visitors with unlimited opportunities for

outdoor recreation: hiking, climbing,
biking, beach-combing, equestrian
sports, photography, wildlife spotting,
paddling, carriage rides, and of course
camping. Not far away amid our immense and legendary forests sits Baxter State Park - home to hundreds of
miles of trails, unmatched paddling
and the extraordinarily historic and
popular Mount Katahdin.
From coast to mountain and from border to border, Maine's Department of
Parks and Lands has collected opportunities for the adventure-hungry visitor.

SIGHT SEEING
No less impressive are all the other
ways to experience the views and vistas across Maine. Whether you like to
experience the beauty and majesty of
Maine from your vehicle or on foot,
we are sincere in saying that your options are limitless. For the touring set,
take a ride along our four National
Scenic Byways (see page 88) or explore our extensive State Scenic Byway
system. Take a trip to spot our many
covered bridges and waterfalls. Visit
some of Maine's historic lighthouses
that line our shores (see page 34) and
enjoy the view from where the raging
sea meets the permanence of Maine's
granite coast.
Looking for more: Cast off in style
aboard a windjammer for a different
view of our coastal harbors and islands.
Pull on some yellow oilskins and climb
aboard a lobster boat for a first mate's
view of the Maine lobsterman's life.
For the more adventurous traveler,
there are ways to see the state where
the sky is, quite literally, the limit. From
the gondola of a hot air balloon over
the Androscoggin River or high above
an Aroostook potato field, Maine takes
on a completely different feel. Take a
floatplane into the northern Maine
woods where lakes become brilliant
islands of blue in a vibrant sea of dark
green.

HUNTING & FISHING
Looking for action? Join the long-standing tradition of the hunt in Maine.
