Known as the "Pine Tree State", Maine is rich in natural resources with 542,629 acres of state and national parks, 3,500 miles of unspoiled coastline and 17 million acres of jagged forest. From the 92-mile Allagash Wilderness Waterway to Acadia National Park to Baxter State Park, the unlimited possibilities of the great outdoors reflect the rugged character and beauty of Maine. A comfortable summer climate attracts hikers to the northern end of the Appalachian Trail and an average annual snowfall between 60 and 90 inches delights skiers and other winter sports enthusiasts (see weather).

The 1 million+ Maine residents take advantage of the state's many miles of coastline, forests and farmland by annually harvesting millions of pounds of tasty Maine lobster, housing paper producing mills and producing blueberries, potatoes and apples for export.
