Maine & Acadia National Park - North Maine Woods (PDF Chapter)

This is the North Maine Woods chapter from Lonely Planet’s Maine & Acadia National Park guidebook.

If you flew over Maine’s Great North Woods at night, you’d see barely a twinkle of light below. This is one of America’s truly impressive wildernesses, a vast expanse of dark forest, raging rivers and herds of moose. Human settlements feel almost incidental.

• transport
• enjoy the scenery on Maine’s largest lake during a cruise aboard the vintage SS Katahdin on Moosehead Lake
