Parks and public lands information available online

Roque Bluffs State ParkThe Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry offers great information online and in print to make your next visit to a state park or public land a lot of fun.

I just received the department’s latest newsletter, where I learned that new brochures, guides and maps are available online for Aroostook State Park, Bigelow Preserve and Flagstaff Lake Public Lands, Rangeley Lake State Park, Roque Bluffs State Park, and Wolfe’s Next Woods State Park.

You can access that information here.

During the summer season at the parks, you can get this information in print at the state parks. Public lands maps are available through their regional offices.

These brochures are made possible in part though the funding assistance provided by the Maine Grants & Community Recreation Program, Bureau of Parks and Lands through the Federal Highway Administration Recreational Trails Program.

Enjoy!
