Maine is full of beautiful mountains, lakes, and hiking trails that run deep into the woods and showcase majestic views. However, when traveling to Maine, it’s hard to decide at what location to set up your tent. There are so many options to choose from. A favorite spot among Mainers and tourists alike is Lily Bay State Park in Beavercove, which you can access via the Dunn Point Trail in Maine.
Dunn Point Trail in Lily Bay State Park is located on the east shore of Moosehead Lake. This cold water lake is 246 feet deep at its deepest point.

Apart from camping, fishing is another recreational pastime common at Lily Bay State Park. Moosehead Lake is known for housing smallmouth bass, brook trout, lake trout, white perch, yellow perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, and the ever-enticing landlocked Atlantic salmon.

If you’re not a fisherman or a camper, no worries. Dunn Point Trail will lead you to a cove with incredible views, where you can picnic and relax either on the water in a boat or on the shore.
