The Pine Tree State

Another place in the United States that grabs my attention is the state of Maine. From looking at photos, the scenery seems just gorgeous. Maine has both ocean and mountain landscapes. Visitors can view lighthouses, historic sites, and wildlife in rustic nature. Maine offers cruises, hiking, canoeing, hot-air balloon rides, and museums to its tourists. A famous historic place to visit in this state in the home of the accomplished writer Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Also, more remaining forts exist in Maine than anywhere else in America. However, what appeals to me is observing the wildlife as well as the scenery. Here in Maine, one can see moose, seals, fox, whales, deer, black bears, and many kinds of birds such as: bald eagles, puffins, and blue heron. If you love bird-watching, Maine is the place to go. For those who enjoy remaining active, Maine offers ATV rides, hunting, hiking, boating, bicycling, fishing, golfing, camping, and more. Then, of course, there are winter activities such as: sledding, snowmobiling, skiing, ice skating, and dog sledding. These are great ways to enjoy nature with your family and friends.

Let us turn now to the national and state parks! The most famous park in Maine is Acadia National Park which has thirty thousand acres of inspiring landscapes. Other popular parks are Baxter State Park, Allagash Wilderness Waterway, one end of the Appalachian Trail, and White Mountains National Forest. Yes, Maine would be so beautiful to see! Just researching about these places makes me excited. Maine also proves that America is a beautiful country.
