Maine has an abundance of nature areas for
day outings. See the listings under Camping for
many more Maine parks and forests. State parks (except Baxter State
Park) are open daily from 9 a.m. to sunset. The day-use entrance fee is
$1 to $2.50. A day-use season pass costs $20 for an individual, or $40
for a vehicle (including any guests inside). Fees entitle you to use
bathhouses, picnic tables, and docks. There are additional fees for
group reservations. Leashed pets are allowed everywhere except at
Baxter, Sebago Lake, and all beach areas. For more information, call the
Dept. of Conservation, Bureau of Parks and Lands, at (207) 287-3821.
Note: the hours, facilities, visible wildlife, and any other information
in these listings is valid through Labor Day only. Also, many of these
places have the right to exclude large groups (generally, 25 or more)
that show up without reservations.
