Once a moose was on our playground. Many of our parents commute to Portland to work. Maine is known as Vacationland and the Pine Tree state. We have a lot of wildlife. We have mountains and a rocky coast with many lighthouses.
People enjoy our beaches and state parks for swimming, fishing, hiking and other sports.
There are whale watching excursions in the summer on the ocean. Our four season climate attracts people in the winter to ski, snowmobile, snow board, to go sledding and ice skating. We can receive over 100 inches of snow in a typical winter. You may remember last winter we had an ice storm. Many of us lost electricity for 5 to15 days.
