Desert of Maine: A Pseudo-desert in the Pine Tree State
The Desert of Maine is a pseudo-desert and privately-owned tourist attraction in Freeport, Maine. It comprises a 40-acre expanse of barren glacial sand in a non-arid region, captivating visitors with its natural curiosity. This captivating destination, resulting from poor farming practices in the 19th century, offers an intriguing blend of geological and historical significance. Although not a true desert with its annual rainfall of 40 inches (100 cm), this sandy landscape devoid of vegetation possesses an uncanny resemblance to its arid counterparts.
