Camden Hills State Park |

| Description |
Camden Hills State Park signature location is the scenic vista high
atop Mt. Battie where sweeping views of Camden, Penobscot Bay, and
surrounding islands await. On a clear day, visitors can see Cadillac
Mountain at Acadia National Park. Mt. Megunticook, the highest of the
Camden Hills - and highest peak on the mainland - is a moderate climb by
foot trail. Other hiking opportunities abound and are well-mapped.
The park is located a few minutes north of Camden, a quintessential New
England town featuring shops that are within walking distance to the
working harbor. Harbor cruises, whale and puffin watches are available
daily.
Summer nights spent under the stars is a recipe for family fun. Campers
who stay at the park's campground enjoy the comfort stations that are
equipped with hot showers. A popular fall activity for hundreds of
visiting leaf peepers is to drive up the Mt. Battie Auto Road and view
the surrounding hillside of fall foliage color. |
