Battie you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the ocean and many, many islands that you can see from this point. Battie or you can hike up (about a mile) or hike the park’s other trails. Here you can drive your car to the top of Mt. Just south of the motel is Camden Hills State Park. This is the perfect location, as it is between Camden and Belfast (another great town to explore–funkier, artsy, with many shops, galleries, and creative restaurants, a nice harbor walk, a food co-op, a recently completed railroad trail, and much more). We always stay at the same place, The Mount Battie Motel in Lincolnville (just north of Camden and not quite so pricey). We like it on the quiet side too–hikes, scenic walks, exploring the shops, restaurants, harbor, gardens, natural beauty of the area, and admiring the varied architecture of the gorgeous homes. For years we have been spending a few days in that area each fall and lately also in spring. My husband and I live in Maine (lucky us!), and our favorite place to visit is the Camden area. I plan on being there permanently one day. Ellsworth is a cute little town and if it’s still there, try lunch at 86 This! So many places and not enough time. Not fans of Bar Harbor – the epitome of tourism. Cadillac Mountain in the morning…gorgeous. Made for awesome pics and video! Acadia is a must, too. We were lucky enough to get out on the rocks before the safety patrol made everyone clear out as the tide came in.
We go to Pemaquid Point almost every trip – were there as the hurricane moved up the coast last fall. You’ll have to stop at Scrummy After’s if you have a sweet tooth! There are so many places to visit that you really don’t have to leave the state. Hallowell is a cute little town so if you visit there be sure to have a lunch or dinner at The Liberal Cup. Nautilus in Belfast has some great food as well.
Ted and Lisa are wonderful and the breakfasts are delicious. We’ve stayed at the Hawthorn Inn in Camden in a Cottage Room. Petty much every time a storm rolls through then it’s gone. And I have waited 2 hours for my turn in line. And some say that Red’s Eats is touristy but they have, hands-down, theee best Lobster Roll. Boothbay and Camden are beautiful but I love the smaller working harbors as well. It’s a different world and I still marvel at how much I’m naturally drawn there. I immediately felt like I was “home.” Haven’t been able to move there but visit whenever we can, going different places each trip. Then I discovered Maine in 2013, thanks to very dear friends of ours. I always thought I wanted to move to Wyoming or Colorado when I was growing up.
