Shenandoah National Park Activities
Hiking (over 500 miles of hiking trails), picnicking, camping in a developed campground or backcountry camping with a permit (available at visitor centers, entrance stations or park headquarters), participating in ranger-guided activities, viewing audio-visual programs or exhibits at visitor centers, fishing, enjoying the panoramic views from overlooks, or just plain relaxing in the peaceful surroundings are some of the favorite activities visitors can experience.
Maine ocean islands provide the only nesting sites for Atlantic puffins in the United States. Eastern Egg Rock in the midcoast region, Seal Island and Matinicus Rock at the mouth of Penobscot Bay, and Machias Seal Island and Petit Manan Island off the downeast coast provide habitat for more than 4,000 puffins each summer.
