Acadia National Park (

)
, on the rugged, northeastern coast of Maine, is
the region's only national park but numerous other large tracts of New England's
forest, mountains and shoreline are set aside for preservation and recreation.
The White Mountain National Forest (

is a vast 800,000-acre expanse
of New Hampshire and Maine, offering a wonderland of scenic drives, hiking trails,
campgrounds and ski slopes. Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest (

) covers 400,000 acres of unspoiled forest. Both are crossed by the Ap-
palachian Trail.
Another gem of federally protected land is the Cape Cod National Seashore
(

perfect for swimming, cycling and seaside hikes.
State parks are plentiful throughout New England, ranging from green niches in
urban locations to the remote, untamed wilderness of Baxter State Park (
