Once listed as of the 20 best towns to live in, Lincolnville, Maine is an unspoiled secret on the eastern seaboard. Less touristy than Camden or Rockland, Lincolnville is a colorful seaside community with all the fresh seafood, long sandy beaches and rugged outdoor sporting activities (both summer and winter) that you'd associate with Maine, but without a hefty price tag. It's also the main ferry terminal for services to the picturesque island of Islesboro. Despite, or perhaps because of, its size, it boasts a highly artistic community, including famous actors and musicians.
Are you looking for top things to see and do while you're in the area? Although it can be tempting to stay in your comfortable vacation rental, you'll want to check out everything that makes Lincolnville a one-of-a-kind vacation spot. Here are some of the most popular attractions to see, all within 30 miles (48.2 km) of the city center:
As well as the lobster, Maine is known for its wealth of sporting activities. Right on the doorstep of your Lincolnville vacation rental there is an outdoor activity for every taste and ability. Acadia National Park attracts rock climbers looking for short routes to suit all levels, while the 30 miles of trails offer hikers and cyclists breathtaking views of the bay and the open countryside. Out on the water, you can spend days on heritage boats such as a Boston Whaler or windjammer schooner. Alternatively, paddleboards and kayaks can be rented for a glorious day out on Megunticook Lake.
Lincolnville is best experienced from the beginning of summer through to the end of fall. Being one of the places for outdoor sports, it's best to take advantage of the mild weather and get out among the pines or launch off into West Penobscot Bay when the sun is shining through the trees or reflected on the water. That said, winter in Maine can be just as fun. The hotel rates are more affordable and if you wrap up warm enough you can step out of your Lincolnville vacation rental for the nearby National Toboggan Championships in Camden.
Lincolnville is set in the center of Camden Hill's 3,500 acres of parkland. With such an auspicious location, Lincolnville vacation rentals are a magnet for wildlife enthusiasts. Fernald's Neck Preserve, which lies on the banks of Megunticook Lake, is an ideal place to spot many species of birds. These include American goldfinch, pine warblers and spotted sandpiper, as well as bald eagles. Deer, black bears and coyote can also be seen. The park offers moderate hiking all year round. The orange and blue nature trails skirt the shoreline and take visitors through ancient evergreen woodland beside the lake.
The nearest airport is in Bangor Intl. Airport (BGR), located 37.6 mi (60.6 km) from the city center. If you're unable to find a flight that fits your schedule, you could also fly into Rockland, ME (RKD-Knox County Regional), which is 15.7 mi (25.3 km) away.
