Megunticook Lake

Reviewed By cardou27 - Greenwich, United States

We are privileged to watch the leaves change on this beautiful lake just 5 miles from Camden, ME. We are camped out in a lovely house along the lake and are astonished at the breath-taking views of the surrounding area. Plenty of walks. We particularly like the nearby Fernald Preserve. For those who want a more serious climb, there are plenty of trails leading to and around Mount Battie.

Rachel Carson Salt Pond Preserve

Reviewed By andreag709

We heard about this place on the Seal Watch cruise. We decided to check it out, and it was definitely worth the time. If you like that sort of thing. It isn't particularly exciting, unless you are into natural beauty and sea life, etc. We saw several varieties of periwinkles, sea weed, and other small creatures that one would find in a tide pool. There were some beach roses and beach peas growing nearby, and up on the road, several artists were set up with their paints and easels to capture the scene. We climbed on the rocks, played with seaweed and took several pictures on what we found. It might not warrant a special trip, but if you are in the area, it is definitely worth stopping by.
