About this blog

Marnie and Paul are a retired couple living in Arrowsic, Maine. We have enjoyed brief visits to various parts of the state, and our enthusiasm for these visits led friends to suggest we "write them up." So here are some very short descriptions of where we've been and what we did there, along with links to web sites where appropriate. We hope readers will comment on these places and add their own impressions and suggestions.
The places we visited are not listed in any special order.

Warren Island

More camping, this time by water. Warren Island State Park is about half a mile off the coast of Islesboro, near the ferry terminal. We took our old aluminum canoe and paddled out. The island has 11 campsites and maybe half of them were filled in early June. There is plenty of privacy, great beauty, and lots of raspberries. This is great place to camp, or to come by boat, as the state maintains six morrings just offshore.

Sebago Lake

Following our southern winter camping trip, we wanted to round out our book with Maine tenting experiences. We had heard good things about Sebago Lake Campground, a very large campground on Maine's largest Lake. In late May it was not hard to find a spot, and we chose one right near the lake. If we go back, we will choose a site near the back of the campground, instead, as the sites by the lake are small and crowded, even in May, while the rest of the vast space is vacant. It is a beautiful spot and there are plenty of good walks nearby. The State Park is separate from the campground and more interesting.
