The Pine Tree State of Maine lies in the northeast corner of United States and, as the vast majority of its landscape is heavily forested, it’s one of the least densely populated states in the country. Tourism and outdoor pursuits play a large part in Maine’s economy and it promotes itself as a major destination for those who want to get away from it all – hunting, fishing, skiing and camping are all popular activities along the rugged Atlantic coastline or within the state’s wooded interior.
