Parks & Nature
Lamoine State Park is a nice 55-acre park for those who want to escape the crowds on Mount Desert Island. It has an oceanside setting with picnic areas, dock, boat access, a pebble beach and allows fishing. Since it is just north of the island on the Maine coast, there are great views of Bar Harbor on the northern side of the island and Cadillac Mountain.
