Whether you decide to climb to the top on foot, or take the auto road, this view is simply incredible. From high atop the peak, Mount Battie, a wonderful panoramic view of Penobscot Bay, and the town of Camden lay at your feet. Occasionally, almost 50 miles off to the northeast, Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park can been seen.
     Camden's travel brochure follows that thought, posting a catch phrase, where the mountains meet the sea. The other mountain, included in Camden Hills State Park, is Mount Megunticook (elevation 1,385), the high point along the coast. The park has been very popular and cool retreat for over a century, with past entrepreneurs taking visitors to the top by buckboard and carriage. Today, the cool breeze is still enjoyed by campers, picnickers, and sightseers.
