| 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.
