This is one of the wonderful jewels of Mount Desert Island that is located on the south-central part of the island in Northeast Harbor. Enjoy!!! Portland Head Lighthouse, at the entrance to Portland Harbor in Maine, has a history that reads like a Who’s Who from the early years of the nation. It was the first lighthouse completed by the United States government, and is the most visited, painted, and photographed lighthouse in New England. Enjoy!!! Portland Head LighthouseHamilton's Pond was created in the early 1900's when that portion of Stony Brook was dammed for agricultural purposes. That area of the brook now flooded back was once clear, cold, and springy, holding brook trout. The pond is very shallow and choked with submergent and emergent aquatic vegetation and tree stumps, making good warm water species habitat. The pond is located on Mount Desert Island, alongside Route 3, opposite the village of Salsbury Cove. There is a carry-in launch site for small boats off the Crooked Road causeway and the launch is also a popular site bank fishermen. Enjoy!!! Hamilton Pond at SundownFor this one I was trying to reach the top of Cadillac Mountain to photograph the sunset. I quickly noticed that everybody was heading that way also so I decided to follow the light and parked the car on the side of Park Loop Road and walked to this spot. Not sure of the name but I was there alone so I had this wonderful view just for me. Enjoy!!! Autumn Sunset-AcadiaOne of the most recognized and photographed man made structures on Mount Desert Island is the arched wooden foot bridge in Somesville that sits next to the historic Selectmen’s Building - C. 1780. The bridge stands out so much that the view on the opposite side of the road, revealing Somes Harbor with Cadillac Mountain as the backdrop, can sometimes be missed. Enjoy!!!
