Vacationland, land of Maine Vacation Rentals. Some history of this fantasic state: Maine's first settlement (1604) was on St. Croix Island; it lasted one winter. Until 1819 Maine was a part of Massachusetts. It was admitted to the Union in 1820. Most of Maine's 17.6 million acres of forest land is open to public recreational use including more than 580,000 acres owned by the state. For more information about recreational use of public and private forestland, contact the Maine Bureau of Public Lands, phone 207/287-3061, or the Maine Forest Service at 207/287-2791. Maine is a large state affected by several different weather patterns. Coastal temperatures are moderate and fog is common in spring and fa11. The winters are cold and snowy. Summers are filled with warm, sunny days and cool, clear nights. Fall is famous for nor easters that can bring high tides, gale-force winds, & huge amounts of rain to the coastal areas.
