Things To Do
Hike or Drive up Mount Battie
There are several ways to hike up Mt Battie, the State Park directly adjacent to Camden. Our favorite is the Carriage Trail which has a small parking area on Google Maps. For a fee, you can also drive to the tower at the top to get a view of where the mountains meet the sea.
Hike Fernald's Neck Preserve
A beautiful preserve with several easy hikes. Surrounded by Lake Megunticook, where Meg, Vince, and Stone regularly paddle around in their kayak.
Hike Bald Mountain Preserve
Meg's favorite hike. Moderately uphill, 2.6 miles in total. Views of the ocean, but off the beaten path.
Hike Ragged Mountain
The sister hike to Bald Mountain. Both can be reached from the same trailhead on Barnestown Rd.
Lincolnville Beach
The closest sand beach to Camden.
Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse
A neat attraction close to Camden. Approximately 1.5 miles out and back.
Cellardoor Winery
A great winery 10-15 minutes from Camden.
Sea Dog Brewing Co.
Camden's brewery. Good food and views of the harbor from their upper deck.
Camden Deli
A great lunch spot, with views of the harbor from the upper deck.
Waterfront
Camden's traditional restaurant on the water. Try the mussels.
Cuzzy's Restaurant
Cheapest beer in town.
The Red Barn Baking Company
Top notch pastries.
Home Kitchen Cafe
A great brunch spot, 10-15 minutes from Camden.
Tick Alert
Please be aware that Knox County has the highest incidence of Lyme disease in the country, and as of March we’ve already found several ticks on Stone while hiking. If you’re planning to be in any wooded or grassy areas, please pack your bug spray and do daily tick checks!
