PORTLAND (AP) — Maine primary care physicians are giving out more than 13,000 free Maine State Park Passes starting this week.
The physicians are from 148 practices around the state. They received the passes on May 18 and will begin making them available to pediatric patients and families on Tuesday.
The pass is good at any of the 48 state parks and historic sites in Maine with the exception of Baxter State Park. It is good through December. Gov. Paul LePage says more than 2.5 million people visited Maine State Park sites last year.
