Parks & Nature
Tidal Falls
Tidal Falls RoadThis is an area that most visitors don't know about which is part of the reason it's so special. At Acadia at Schoodic you will find many places to hike, bike, or stop along the way to take in the scenic splendor and Frazer Park is perfect for a picnic. Go north on US 1 and follow signs to Winter Harbor (great little town with a few stores and shops) and Acadia. It's about 20 minutes from the house.
