Maine is home to one National Park and thirty-four State Parks. The largest of Maine's state parks is Baxter State Park just north of Millinocket. It encompasses approximately 375 square miles and is home to Maine's highest peak, Mt. Katahdin. Another 32 parks range in size from a couple of acres to several square miles. They can be found in the mountains and along lakeshores and the coast. There's even a state park on an island that is only accessible by private boat. Visitation of a Maine state park requires a pass. The state of Maine offers free day use park passes to senior citizens, 65 and over. To obtain a day-use park pass, click here.
