A pleasant 30-minute drive north on scenic Route 1, Camden is the home of a picturesque Maine harbor, a premier shopping area, local hiking, tall ship sunset cruises, ice cream shops and a thriving local restaurant scene. There is something for everyone: whether you are looking to actively hike and explore Camden Hills State Park, relax on a sailboat as it glides over the cool ocean waves in Penobscot Bay, or explore the unique local shops, Camden has it all. Boat Tours Located right on Penobscot Bay, Camden is a sailor's dream. Camden Harbor is home to numerous schooners and tall ships that offer daily sailing tours and excursions or visitors may choose to charter their own ships. Penobscot Bay has been said to be one of the best and most scenic sailing areas in the state of Maine. Camden remains a working harbor, with lobstering and fishing boats travelling in and out of the Bay each day to catch fresh seafood and lobster. A ride around the harbor will pass island ferries, mega-yachts, powerboats, fishing boats, Maine windjammers and more! Downtown Downtown Camden is delight of upscale shops, antique shops, general stores, seafood eateries and cafes, plus the beautiful waterfront Camden Public Library which is surrounded by a lovely park for picnicking. Camden Hills State Park Camden Hill State Park encompasses 5,700 acres, including over 30 miles of hiking and walking trails. Hills State Park is great for families with children because the hiking trails are not very strenuous or long and usually have very moderate inclines. If you don't feel like hiking, drive the Auto Road up Mt. Battie for panoramic views of the Bay and nearby islands. Maiden's Cliff is one of the more popular hiking trails, an 800-foot rock cliff that provides spectacular views of Lake Megunticook and the Maine countryside. Beaches Beach goers will love Barret's Cove, a freshwater beach on Megunticook Lake. This beach is a quiet and relaxing escape from a busy Camden in the summer months. It is often not crowded, and the lake water remains relatively warm during prime season. The beach is open to the public with designated swimming areas, public restrooms and showers. There is also a grassy picnic area with tables and outdoor grills and a playground for the kids to enjoy. Laite Beach is small but scenic, overlooking beautiful views of Camden Harbor just a short distance from downtown. Laite Beach is part of a grassy park that slopes down to a pebble beach along the water, perfect for searching for shells, sea glass and other ocean treasures. The park has swings, picnic tables, grills and restroom facilities. There is a swimming platform offshore for those brave enough to swim in the chilly harbor waters. Lighthouses It is worth a day trip to visit one of Camden's outlying islands, Isleboro, Vinalhaven, North Haven, Isle Au Haut or the many other smaller islands in the area, accessible by boat or ferry out of Camden Harbor. Many of these islands are home to great hiking and biking trails, quaint seaside villages and picturesque Maine lighthouses. Winter Activities There are plenty of things to do in Camden during the winter as the town becomes a hot spot for winter sports. The Camden Snow Bowl is a community owned ski area on Ragged Mountain and the only Eastern ski area with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. Skiers and snowboarders alike will enjoy this picturesque ski mountain in Camden. In February, Camden Snow Bowl is home to the North American Toboggan Championships. Ice-skating and cross-country are also popular winter activities that many Camden visitors enjoy.
