Aroostook State Park bears the distinct honor of being Maine's first state park. In 1938 interested citizens of Presque Isle donated 100 acres of land to the State of Maine, and following that gesture, the park became reality in 1939. Today the park totals nearly 800 acres thanks to subsequent donations and purchases.
Just a few miles from the UMPI campus, Aroostook State Park is a common venue for trail runs and hiking. The paved roads around the park are also an ideal area to roller ski with a variety of terrain and good pavement.
