 In
Camden you can walk from the inn to over thirty miles of wonderful,
Camden Hills State Park trails, play golf on one of the country's
premier courses, sail on a windjammer, eat lobster within yards
of where they are being caught or sit on the rock at the top
of Mt. Battie where Edna St. Vincent Millay sat to gaze at the
islands in the bay and gain inspiration.
Known
as "the village where the mountains meet the sea," Camden
is a breathtakingly beautiful seaside community. The focus is on
one of the most photographed harbors in New England, white-steepled
churches, narrow streets lined with quaint shops and restaurants,
ample parks and common greens and stately old homes.
