Maine is legendary for its rock-bound coast, sandy beaches, the north woods, mountains, lakes, and rivers. All of these areas are represented in the one million acres managed by the Division of Parks and Public Lands, within the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. Included in this acreage are parks, historic sites, beaches, camping areas, waterways, public reserved lands, and thousands of miles of trails.
