Maine is a northeastern state, but one of the most
sparsely populated states in the USA. Its northern reaches, known as The Great
North Woods, are largely pristine wilderness. The coastal regions, supported
over the years by fishing, lobstering and tourism, are more heavily populated,
particularly in the southern, more temperate part of the state. Although the
water is decidely cool, Maine's mostly rocky coastline and nearly 60
lighthouses make for some beautiful scenery. Millions of people have enjoyed
this coastal scenery at Maine's Acadia National Park, the only national park in
New England.
