Well, you might not actually hear the Sound of Music when you hike these hills, but the view is wonderful. A great family hike, not arduous at all and on a clear day... Oops, there i go again, breaking into song!

I love hiking Mt. Battie and Mt. Meguntacook, to do both it will probably take a total of three hours at a moderate pace. Granted the last time I did both it was in the snow so it did take a little longer. Once you get to the summits the view is amazing, it over looks the whole harbor of... More

We hiked up Mt Megunticook because we were short on time- Turn on Spring road off of Rt 52. It turned out to be a highlight of our trip. It was a gorgeous overview of the Camden seacoast and the islands surrounding the area. It was an easy, fun rock climbing hike. Must do if you have an hour!

We came to Camden in March and walked up the road to the lookout and even with the wind and cold, it was definitely worth it! The view from the top is incredible.

A beautiful state park located off of Route 1 near Camden, Maine. Camden is a quaint harbor town along the rocky coast of Maine. The views from the Mountain next to Camden is breathtakeing and well worth the adventure . Loved the Camden Harbor with the many variety of boats. Seafood resturants are also plentiful in Camden. Camden is truly... More

Miles of hiking trails with great views. You can camp or stay in the cabins. Camden is right down the road for shopping and many wonderful restaurants.

This park is not so much fun for kids or families. Maybe for walking the dog or stopping to have lunch. I don't think it is worth the cost and I don't think you could make a day out of it.

Despite the cold temperatures on a windy October day, we enjoyed the views of Camden Harbor and took some excellent photo's from this great vantage point. It is a very small local park so cannot compare to places like Acadia, etc... however, it is worth the visit for the views alone. Do take the time to visit if you are... More

This is one of the places my husband and I go to in the summer. We absolutely love the State Parks in Maine and try to get to one or two each year. We have started taking our grandson to them as well so he can see the beauty that Maine has to offer. I would highly recommend this spot... More

Most people coming to Maine want to go to the top of Mt Cadillac in Acadia Park. Acadia is beautiful, but I think the view from Mt Battie in Camden is better than Cadillac. It would seem most travel magazines do ,too, because it is usually the cover shot of a Maine coast story. Just a short drive north out... More
