With a number of beautiful walks, hikes, and bike rides to explore, you should plan a day to wander this national treasure. Start at the Hulls Cove Visitor's Center for a parking pass, maps, park events, and short film introducing Acadia.
Waterfront dining, shopping, and Mount Desert Island Ice Cream shop, famous for the Obama’s visit. Oh, and really good ice cream too.
Within walking distance to the venue, and there is a good place to camp if you are feeling rustic...
The Schoodic Peninsula, part of the Acadia National Park system, offers a wide array of opportunities for discovering Maine's rugged coast without all the congestion of Mount Desert Island. Exploring on foot, by bike, or by car, there is something for everyone. A six-mile (10 km), one-way loop road offers views of lighthouses, seabirds, and forested islands. Vehicle turnouts that provide opportunities to stop and enjoy the scenery. Enjoy bicycling the Schoodic Loop Road and the 8.3 miles (13.4 km) of bike paths or enjoy one of the several hiking trails.
