In the shelter of woods and with abundant water from numerous lakes, particularly in the northern counties, a wide variety of wildlife has found refuge. Moose, deer, black bear, and smaller game are still found; fish and fowl are also plentiful. The population of Maine is centered on the cleared land along the coast and major rivers. Augusta is the capital; Portland Lewiston , and Bangor are the largest cities. Places of interest in Maine include Acadia National Park on Mt.

Geography of the Maine Coastline With 3,500 miles of coastline, Maine is one of the most geographically diverse areas where Legendary Lighthouses are located. In the early 19th century, because of its rich fishing grounds and many harbors, it was the sailing and shipbuilding capitol of the United States. The mixture of rocky coastlines, white sand beaches, small coves, large harbors, and over 2,000 offshore islands made it a treacherous area to navigate. The broad white beaches of the southern Maine coast host famed coastal villages like Kennebunkport , Old Orchard Beach, and Ogunquit. As you move further to the northeast the coastline gives way to Casco Bay and the Greater Portland region with its always busy deepwater harbor.
