I grew up not far from Trap Pond State Park in Delaware, my parents still live nearby, but I've never checked it out. Maybe this summer I'll do so.
I wouldn't call the Allagash Waterway in Maine under-rated. I thought it was a well known great place for canoe trips?
If I had to pick a place in Maine that I've experienced and is under-rated it would be the Bold Coast/Cutler area hike. This is about a 7 or 8 mile loop shaped like a rectangle with one of the long sides right along the cliffs above the Atlantic Ocean. Looking north along the coast you can see Canada. IIRC, it's the longest undeveloped coastline on the eastern seaboard, something like 12 miles. It's a pretty flat hike too, so not too strenuous. Only drawback is that the camp sites for an overnight backpacking trip are at the far southern end of the reserve and there is a huge naval (I think) communication center just south of it. So if you look south you're looking at this massive array of antennas and dishes, etc. and there's a light house out on the peninsula there that pings all night long sometimes.
