Does Maine allow mining in State Parks and other State-owned land?

Mining is strictly prohibited in all Maine State Parks. There are other state-owned lands, however, including submerged lands, in which exploration for mineral deposits and mining are not prohibited. These activities are limited and regulated by Statute (Title 12, Chapter 201-A, Subchapter 3). A paper copy of Mining on State Lands statutes may be requested free of charge from the Maine Geological Survey (contact us).
