Lily Bay State Park will be open through Columbus Day

    Most State Parks are still open for camping through Columbus Day, including Lily Bay State Park near Greenville.
    “Despite the temporary closure of Acadia National Park, Maine is still open for tourism,” said Gov. Paul R. LePage. “The shutdown of the federal government is a result of the failure of leadership in Washington, and it does not impact our state parks or historic sites. While Cobscook Bay State Park is closed due to the federal government shutdown and two are closed for the season, all the rest of our state parks are still open for business.”

    Peaks Kenny State Park in Dover-Foxcroft is closed to camping for the season. For more information on Maine State Parks, go to http://www.maine.gov/doc/parks.
