Historic Camden
Camden has range of architectural gems, including former estates dating from the early 1800s, a pretty congregational church (1834), an 18th-century schoolhouse and a plethora of striking 19th-century mansions. Many of these buildings are private residences, but you can wander the tree-lined streets of Chestnut and High Streets for a glimpse back in time. The chamber of commerce distributes a free brochure listing 30 or so historic buildings you can see on a 2.5-mile walk through town.

Islesboro
From Camden, it’s a five-minute drive to Lincolnville Beach from where you can take a 20-minute ferry ride to the island of Islesboro, one of the finest places to ride a bike in Maine. The island is relatively flat, yet hilly enough to offer majestic vistas of Penobscot Bay and long enough to feature a 28-mile bike loop. Picnic at Pendleton Point, where harbor seal and loons often lounge on the long, striated rocks.
