Activities

Cellardoor Winery

Located 5 miles inland from the Camden waterfront sits a 68-acre property complete with our 200-year-old barn-turned-tasting room, gift shop, vineyard and winery. Enjoy complimentary wine tastings, a complimentary winery tour, and locally and internationally made cheese, salami, sandwiches and cheese plates.

Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse

The Rockland Breakwater Light sits at the end of the breakwater jutting out into the harbor. At 1.4 miles long, it's a blustery walk, but the views it affords of Rockland are spectacular.

Farnsworth Art Museum

The museum's mission is to celebrate Maine's role in American art. It is one of the nation's largest collections of the paintings of the Wyeth family, most famously, Andrew Wyeth.

Hike or Drive Mount Battie

Mt. Battie offers a relatively short, but very rewarding hike up the south-facing side of the mountain. Although there are some steep pitches, and a bit of scrambling through rock and ledge areas is required, the view over Camden and the islands dotting Penobscot Bay makes this climb well worth the effort. Ascending the stone tower on Mount Battie's 780' summit further enhances the opportunity to soak in the 360-degree panorama. You can also drive to the summit.

Camden International Film Festival

This documentary film festival is taking over Camden the same weekend as our wedding. The festival will feature screenings of nearly 80 documentary films from both emerging and established filmmakers.

Visit the Islands

Penobscot Bay is known for its many beautiful islands. The best islands accessible from the Camden/Rockland area for a day trip are Vinalhaven, North Haven, and Islesboro. Catch a ferry out to one of these islands and spend the day exploring on foot or by bike (rent one!). If you have lots of time, do an overnight on Monhegan! North Haven, Vinalhaven, Matinicus: http://maine.gov/mdot/ferry/rockland/ Islesboro: http://maine.gov/mdot/ferry/islesboro/ Monhegan: https://monheganboat.com/schedule/
