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.
