Since 1954, our mission has been simple: to hold a mirror up to Maine, showcasing its landscapes, traditions, flinty character, and unhurried way of life, as well as to confront its complexities intelligently and with heart. We believe rusticity and cool can live side by side — because they do in Maine. Our readers and online communities come to us to learn about out-of-the-way lobster shacks, Maine-made gift ideas, and under-the-radar spots to paddle, hike, and explore, but also for insight into the personalities and issues shaping our state. Simply put, people who love Maine love Down East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003eYour Favorite Maine State Parks\u003cbr\u003eWe asked our readers, then sent our photographers out to 10 of the state’s most beautiful and beloved public lands, from beaches to mountains to historic forts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 state parks highlighted in that issue are:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuoddy Head State Park (Lubec)\u003c\/strong\u003e - Famed for its rugged coastline and the iconic peppermint-striped West Quoddy Head Lighthouse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroostook State Park (Presque Isle)\u003c\/strong\u003e - Maine's first state park, featuring Quaggy Jo Mountain and Echo Lake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePopham Beach State Park (Phippsburg) \u003c\/strong\u003e- Known for its dynamic, classic Maine sandy coastline and views of offshore islands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaxter State Park (Millinocket)\u003c\/strong\u003e - Maine's crown jewel of vast wilderness and home to Mount Katahdin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Lights State Park (Cape Elizabeth)\u003c\/strong\u003e - A rocky, dramatic coastal park sitting just a stone's throw from Portland with sweeping ocean views.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReid State Park (Georgetown)\u003c\/strong\u003e - Home to some of the finest sandy beaches and salt marshes in the Midcoast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCamden Hills State Park (Camden)\u003c\/strong\u003e - Offers incredible sweeping vistas of Camden Harbor and Penobscot Bay from Mount Battie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFort Knox State Park (Prospect)\u003c\/strong\u003e - One of the best-preserved military fortifications on the New England coast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRangeley Lake State Park (Rangeley)\u003c\/strong\u003e - A beautiful lakes-and-mountains getaway famous for its landlocked salmon fishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCobscook Bay State Park (Dennysville)\u003c\/strong\u003e - A peaceful, heavily-wooded tidal bay park renowned for its birdwatching and wilderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Is Well\u003cbr\u003eRipped from the headlines: a tale of a stranded sailor, an unlikely rescue, and love lost (and found) on the high seas.
