Bridget’s Penobscot Bay Area Guidebook
Outdoor adventures
A nice, moderate difficulty, hike to a lookout near the top of Blue Hill Mountain. A beautiful panoramic view of Penobscot Bay from the Camden Hills on your right to Mount Desert Island on your left. Great for a picnic, or just a pleasant way to spend a morning or afternoon. Hike should take 1-2 hours depending on how much of a hurry you are in.

Absolutely beautiful park. Worth braving the crowds! If it's too crowded for hiking, the loop road is a very scenic drive.
