Camden Hills State Park
, Camden. Located off US 1, this
park protects the hills in a town which bills itself as being
“Where the Mountains Meet the Sea.” A 10-mile out-and-back
run is possible on a snowmobile trail and summer bypass section that
runs from the campground just off US 1 to the Youngston Road just off
Route 173. It passes through attractive woods. You can combine your ride
with hikes up the park's peaks, but bikes are not allowed on hiking trails.
Bike route closed in mud season.
