Consisting of more than 35,000 acres on Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park is New England's premier park - and one of America's most majestic getaways.

Follow US 1 south from Acadia as it follows the Atlantic coast and you'll soon arrive at the town of Bath and Popham Beach State Park.

5-mile sandy stretch is one of the prettiest beaches in the state.

There are also some great Maine campgrounds in this area near the beaches.
One of the largest bodies of water in the northeast is Moosehead Lake, a freshwater escape complete with more than 300 miles of shoreline.
Hikers, canoeists and anglers (outdoor types of all stripes, really) have flocked to this lake for decades.
Despite its popularity, the surroundings remain relatively untouched.
