Kayaking around Camden Harbor or from Rockport to Camden is a wonderful way to discover hidden coves, island estates or quaint lighthouses. Megunticook Lake is a great place to enjoy a leisurely paddle or to go swimming in clear fresh water.
Pitcher Pond is a wonderful and unspoiled 3 miles long lake, only 20 min drive from Camden. It is surrounded by wooden land offering great hiking opportunities.
Lyman-Morse also have a facility in Tenants Harbor (10 miles down the peninsula from their Thomaston yard) where they have several moorings for yachts up to 50’, 170’ of dock space, showers, hi-speed internet, radio monitoring and service capabilities open 7 days/week in summer. This is a good place for cruisers, as it is easily accessible and scenic. There is also a chandlery, fuel, restaurants and lodging within walking distance.
Camden Hills State Park, located less than 2 miles north of Camden on Rt 1, features 30 miles of hiking trails. The signature location – top of Mt. Battie – can be reached by foot (about 1 hr up) or by car. The sweeping views of Camden, Penobscot Bay and the surrounding islands are absolutely spectacular and no visit to Camden is complete without a walk or hike up Mt. Battie. Another popular and moderate hike is Mt. Megunticook, the highest of the Camden hills. The park offers other well-mapped trails.
