Aroostook State Park is a state park and public recreation area set within the city limits of Presque Isle in Aroostook County.
The 898-acre park lies next to Echo Lake and encompasses the twin peaks of Quaggy Jo Mountain, and offers a variety of outdoor recreational activities such as boating, swimming, fishing, canoeing, paddle-boating, hiking, and picnicking. The Aroostook State Park also features a campground with 30 wooded sites for tent camping and RVs, bathroom facilities, and a kitchen pavilion, and a small playground for children.
Three miles of hiking trails lead to lookout points high on Quaggy Jo Mountain. The park is also home to the Double Eagle II Memorial Park, which is famous for being the launch site for the first successful trans-Atlantic balloon flight in August 1978 that went from the United States to Miserey in France. The year-round outdoor Nordic Heritage Center features restrooms, showers, and a sauna, along with 20 miles of single-track mountain biking trails.
