North Maine at a Glance
North Maine offers much for the traveler, as it is home to beautiful park areas,
several museums and also hosts fun-filled annual events. Hiking, snowmobiling,
cross-country skiing, camping and fishing are popular pastimes in North Maine's
parks, which include Aroostook
State Park in Presque
Isle. This recreational haven was Maine's
first state park and encompasses over 800 acres (324 ha). The town of Jackman
is an ideal place to stay when embarking on a whitewater rafting
adventure, as it offers several types of accommodation,
including cabins, hotels and campgrounds. The Northern
Maine Museum of Science in Presque Isle and the Northern
Timber Cruisers Antique Snowmobile Museum in Millinocket
are great places to spend the day and learn about North Maine. At the end of July
and beginning of August the nine-day Northern
Maine Fair takes place in Presque Isle and offers live musical performances,
a midway, agricultural exhibits and horse pulls, among many other entertaining
activities.
