Lily Bay State Park, nine miles north of Greenville, Maine, on the eastern shore of Moosehead Lake, makes a great base for enjoying the lake and surrounding countryside. The park offers tent and RV camping (no electric or water hookup) from drive-in sites around Dunn Point and Rowell Cove, and maintains two separate launch ramps with docks where trailer-boaters can tie up during their stay. Other amenities include a swim beach, playground with volleyball net, and a two-mile shoreline walking trail.

Many Lily Bay campers bring or rent kayaks and canoes, as the surrounding waters comprise a paddler’s paradise. Several public islands close to the park make ideal rest-stops for picnics and swimming, while myriad shallow coves provide excellent protection on windy days. Loons, mergansers, and blue heron abound in this area, and if you’re lucky, you may even spy a moose or bald eagle!
