CAMDEN (Mid-Coast) Camden Hills State Park Camden Hills State Park has an extensive Trail System. Hiking trail maps are available with descriptions of the various trails (distances and time estimates). For the less active, a leisurely car drive to the top of Mt. Battie offers panoramic views of Penobscot Bay and it's many islands. The Camden Hills State Park and the George’s Highland Path provide some of the most spectacular coastal mountain hiking in New England. Sweeping ocean vistas, rugged coastlines and breath taking seascapes await and surprise the hiker at every bend in the trail. Camden’s Mt. Megunticook Range is the starting point for the ridge trail, a scenic five-mile walk with spectacular cliffs and exposed ledges. Upon cresting the ridge, you will reach the top of Maiden Cliff, with dramatic 360-degree views over pristine Megunticook Lake and the Georges Highlands. The cliff top offers the perfect spot for picnicking, birding or viewing the magnificent fall foliage. It is not uncommon to see Bald Eagles, Ospreys or Red Tailed Hawks soaring, especially during the annual fall hawk migration. Three miles into the trail lies Ocean Lookout. With an elevation of 1180 feet (the highest point along the trail) Ocean Lookout provides hikers with outstanding views of Penobscot Bay with its quaint coastal villages, abundant islands and fleet of old Windjammers. The trails are well marked and maintained. There are plenty of access points to the trails and public parking is available at the trailheads. Maps and hiking information can be obtained at most trailheads, ranger stations or from your innkeepers. Other popular activities at the park are rock climbing, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, camping, picnicking and bird watching.
