Camden Hills State Park signature location is the scenic vista high atop Mt. Battie where sweeping views of Camden, Penobscot Bay, and surrounding islands await. On a clear day, visitors can see Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park. Renowned for the panoramic view of Camden Harbor and Penobscot Bay from the top of Mt. Battie, which inspired Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem "Renascence," the park still inspires wonder in visitors today. Mt. Megunticook, the highest of the Camden Hills - and highest peak on the mainland - is a moderate climb by foot trail. Other hiking opportunities abound and are well-mapped.
Located about 12 miles off the Maine coast near Rockland, is the beautiful island community of Vinalhaven. While this town only has a year-round population of over 1,300 people, this number swells between 5,000 and 6,000 people during the summer months. It holds the rights to the largest fishing area in Penobscot Bay, and relies on lobster as its main industry. There are also ten major fishing grounds around the island that have been relied on by local fisherman to yield lobster, cod, cusk, haddock, and pollock for centuries. In fact, Vinalhaven is a major seafood supplier to Portland, Boston, and New York in addition to other parts of the world outside of the United States.
