Column: Explore the Schoodic Peninsula, for the Acadia less traveled

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • December 6, 2020

The Schoodic Peninsula is home to a remarkable landscape of dense spruce forests, jack pine woodlands, shrubby heaths, cobble beaches, granite headlands, deep harbors and rugged islands. Bounded by Frenchman Bay to the west, Gouldsboro Bay to the east and the Gulf of Maine along its southern margin, the peninsula is a true natural gem of Maine’s bold Downeast coastline. Once you’ve enjoyed the network of meandering trails and bike paths in the extraordinary Schoodic District of Acadia National Park, check out the 7 miles of trails across five Frenchman Bay Conservancy and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service properties. ~ Carey Kish
