A peaceful moment for you today



To embrace Maine's gorgeous natural spaces without the crowds of Acadia National Park, pay a visit to Baxter State Park. The roughly 210,000-acre park sits about 80 miles north of Bangor, Maine, near the town of Millinocket in the center of the state. It is home to Maine's tallest mountain – Mount Katahdin – which towers 5,268 feet tall.

THE LAKE —— TO ——
Edgar Allan Poe - 1809-1849

In spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide earth a spot
The which I could not love the less—
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that tower’d around.
