The Schoodic Scenic Byway travels through the eastern seaboard, including the "quiet" side of Acadia National Park. The landscape remains unspoiled, revealing a part of Maine where lobstering and clamming are still a tradition. Discover the local artisans' crafts and let the mountains, coastal islands, historic buildings, and lighthouses enchant you.
Day 1
9:00 - 20.2 miles / 40 minutes - 9:40
Pack a lunch and enjoy this wonderful picnic spot. Visitors can see Petit Manan Light to the east and Schoodic Island. The views are breathtaking, especially on a sunny day with heavy surf. A number of trails begin from Blueberry Hill. The Anvil Trails can be found just beyond the parking lot. The trail leads up a steep slope, from which the trail earns its name, to a 180-foot promontory with striking views out over Little Moose Island. Anvil Trail ultimately leads up to Shoodic Head.
