Part of the Downeast region of Maine, Lamoine is the one of the best destinations for your next vacation! Here you’ll find plenty of opportunities to have fun with water or immerse yourself in nature. Nearby is the famous Acadia National Park where many adventurers come to Maine to explore alone. Yet Lamoine itself has so much to offer that you’ll have two separate vacations for the price of one here! Or you can come back a second time and dedicate one visit to the town and the other to the park! Either way, you’ll have a vacation experience that you’ll never forget in Lamoine!
Acadia National Park
This park is dedicated to protecting the beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic Coast. If you’re in the mood for swimming, the beaches here have white sand and clear water! If you’re in the mood for hiking, there’s 158 miles of trails that will keep you in awe of all the beauty nature has to hold. Amidst the seven peaks, there is so much wildlife here to observe like moose, bears, deer, and more! Fishermen will also find that the waters are teaming with game like alewife, northern redbelly dace, and such.
For those who want to get out into the bay, there are many opportunities to take your personal kayaks out from the beach or go on guided tours with rentals! If you want to see whales or dolphins, there are also tours that specialize in whale watching and dolphin diving. For winter lovers, the trails here are excellent for snowshoes, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. Ice fishing is also a possibility if you can brave the cold!
Activities in Lamoine
Inside Lamoine, you’ll find the lesser famous Lamoine State Park and Lamoine Beach! Lamoine Beach, inside Lamoine State Park, is a popular spot for tourists to go swimming. This is the perfect spot for picnics and a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise. If you have a boat or kayak, you can use the public boat launch to go hit the waves where you can either just relax under the sun or cast your pole if you brought your fishing license. The rest of Lamoine State Park has campgrounds and room to play sports if you don’t want to dip into the water.
If you are in the mood for some action, you should investigate the nearby Wild Acadia Fun Park & Water Slides. Here there are many family attractions from water slides, aerial rope courses, and mini golf! If the mini golf here wasn’t enough for you, there’s Bar Harbor Golf Course almost right next to the water park! Lamoine is the perfect spot for you to have a quiet adventure at!!
