| Down East Maine's Schoodic
Peninsula, the only part of Acadia
National Park located on the mainland, is shared by
the towns of Gouldsboro and Winter
Harbor. To the South is the Schoodic Peninsula section of the
park providing panoramic views of Frenchman Bay from atop the 440
foot high Schoodic Head. Schoodic
Point, at the southern tip of the peninsula, has granite outcroppings,
pounding surf, spruce, and unusual groupings of jack pine. Schoodic
Peninsula's park road offers great views of the ocean, inlets, and
distant Mount Desert Island.
There is ample parking space for visitors and it is well worth the
trip. Schoodic Map Directions: To get to Schoodic Peninsula, go “Down East” about 19 miles from Ellsworth on U.S. Route #1. In West Gouldsboro, take a right and head south on Route #186. Go approximately another 6 miles to a right that leads to the Schoodic Park area. It will turn into a one way park loop road after about a mile. Schoodic Peninsula Chamber of Commerce |
