Visit the Camden Opera House
The Maiden Cliff Trail (1 mile, moderate) offers an ascent to some spectacular views from cliffs that tower 800' over Megunticook Lake. The trail gradually follows a brook for the first half-mile, after which the path takes a somewhat steeper climb, culminating at a plateau. The trail traverses open ledges at the top of the cliff, leading to a notable destination, where a large steel cross commemorates Elenora French, who fell to her death here in 1862 at 11 years of age.

Everytime I'm in Camden, I always go to the library and to the amphitheater/park behind it with the magnificent view of the harbor. It's one of the few libraries I've been to with such beautiful grounds. The library itself is a National Historic Landmark and opened in 1928. The first established Camden library was way back in 1796 with 200 books! Click here for more information.

Pitcher Pond

Only in Maine, could this be a "pond" - it would be a lake anywhere else. Several miles long, maybe 1/2 mile wide and quiet as a church mouse when we were there. Maybe a boat or two, but mostly kayaks, when anyone at all was seen . Click her for more information

For decades, their numbers dwindled, and in the early ’70s, a program was started by the Audubon Society to bolster their population to more natural levels. The Project Puffin Visitor Center in Rockland is dedicated to educating visitors on the importance of local ecosystems, and animals like puffins that play crucial role Click here for more information
