Lonely Planet writer Regis St Louis describes why he loves Maine & Acadia National Park. "It's hard not to fall for Maine. What other state has so much going for it, with its gorgeous shorelines, wilderness-filled interior and jagged mountains stretching to the horizon? There's also the food and drink scene, with its focus on local, sustainable and organic. I love that Maine straddles two worlds: old fashioned main streets where people still stroll and cutting-edge culture that's helping to revitalize some of its sleepy small towns. The people, though, are the state's greatest treasure - a tough lot who are willing to weather those long winters to live in this place of such natural riches."
