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 towerd around.
