Seasonal Highlights
Summer:
Long days for exploring trails and river adventures. Swim at nearby Spring River Lake or take a memorable day trip to Acadia National Park (about 45 miles away), where you’ll find breathtaking coastal scenery and miles of carriage roads — even horse-friendly.
The Cherryfield Blueberry Festival runs each August, the festival takes place along Cherryfield’s charming Main Street and the nearby farms where these wild berries thrive. The rugged coastline and forested hills surrounding Cherryfield give the blueberries a bold, tangy character, and walking through the festival, you’ll encounter fresh-picked berries, homemade pies, jams, and even blueberry-themed crafts. Local farmers and artisans stand ready to share stories and tips about harvesting techniques and sustainable cultivation against Maine’s wild climate.
Fall:
Peak foliage, crisp air, and fewer bugs make this a favorite season. Ideal for hiking, paddling, and horseback riding from Labor Day through late fall. You might be curious -- why is the town called Cherryfield if its famous fruit is the blueberry? There's a theory that the blueberry barrens look like cherry fields when the leaves turn bright red in the fall.
Winter:
Snow transforms the property into a quiet wonderland for skiing and snowshoeing. Regional snowmobile trails connect nearby, with routes toward Ellsworth, Maine and beyond.
Spring:
A peaceful transition season with wildlife returning, rivers opening for paddling and fishing, and fresh forest air everywhere you go.
