3. Aroostook State Park
Aroostook State Park bears the distinct honor of being Maine’s first state park. In 1938 interested citizens of Presque Isle donated 100 acres of land to the state of Maine, and following that gesture, the park became reality in 1939. Today the park totals nearly 800 acres thanks to subsequent donations and purchases.
4. Deer Farm Camps & Campgrounds
Deer Farm Camps & Campground is cradled in Maine’s western mountains, far from the hustle and bustle of city living.
Spend your time hiking the abandoned logging roads in the adjacent wilderness or plan a more extensive trek up one of the local peaks. Only 20 minutes from the Appalachian Trail, Deer Farm Camps & Campground provides a welcoming home base from which to explore the local countryside. Those who prefer boating, fishing and swimming will enjoy beautiful Tuft’s Pond, one of the three mountain lakes within walking distance of your campsite. The surrounding forest is also home to abundant wildlife: deer, moose, black bear, fox, rabbits and an exhilarating number of birds provide the perfect diversion for the wildlife enthusiast.
