Description
Bike, Walk and Sea Kayak in Penobscot Bay and Acadia National Park
"Why go West,” asked legendary writer Henry David Thoreau, "when Maine has everything?” The Pine Tree State is indeed blessed with an abundance of natural splendors—rocky coastline, lakes, mountains, rivers, islands, forests and beaches. Breathe crisp clean air. Delight in weathered fishing villages where life still rings with old New England charm. Bike to hidden coves and along quiet country lanes. Kayak on an idyllic lake, surrounded by forests and small beaches. And top off your day with succulent lobster. Journey with Backroads and experience the same enchanting world that charmed Thoreau so long ago.
