An Early Opening for Maine State Parks

By Melanie Brooks

Thanks to some uncharacteristically warm spring weather, some of Maine's state parks are opening their camp sites earlier than expected -- which is good news if you ask me. Early openings are highly unusual, regional parks manager Ron Hunt said in a press release. "This is almost three and a half weeks earlier than the listed date." Nevertheless, park staffers are prepared and visitors are showing up.

It's reported to be rainy on Saturday but partly sunny and 60 degrees out on Sunday, according to the powers that be at weather.com. So if you're itching to get out there and be one with nature, head to one of the following parks and get your camping on:

Sebago Lake State Park in Casco and Naples
Bradbury Mountain State Park in Pownal
Camden Hills State Park in Camden
Lake St. George State Park in Liberty
