Aroostook State Park is public recreation area within the southern municipal boundary of the city of Presque Isle in Aroostook County, Maine. The state park's 898 acres (363 ha) encompass Quaggy Jo Mountain and sit adjacent to Echo Lake. "Quaggy Jo" is an altered version of the mountain's Native American name, "Qua Qua Jo", which means "twin-peaked."
The park is off U.S. Route 1 on the south side of Presque Isle. The similarly named Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge is some 30 miles (48 km) to the north.
