I knew Acadia is where everyone goes when they do a Maine Road Trip, but it was precisely the reason why I didn\u2019t turn left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only had a limited amount of time, and <strong>my goal is to always seek out new places when I travel<\/strong>, even if it\u2019s a popular tourist destination like Maine. I believe the best places to see in Maine have little hidden gems and secrets &#8211; and it\u2019s my goal to find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was my first trip to Maine and a much anticipated one. I love lobster, <a data-lasso-id=\"975889\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/maine-blueberry-festival\/\">blueberries<\/a>, and Thoreau; I knew Maine and I would be a good match.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69b92fd1f0495\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69b92fd1f0495\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/best-places-to-see-on-a-maine-road-trip\/#Maine_Road_Trip_Itinerary_That_Will_Keep_You_Off_the_Beaten_Path\" >Maine Road Trip Itinerary That Will Keep You Off the Beaten Path<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/best-places-to-see-on-a-maine-road-trip\/#Maine_Road_Trip_Map\" >Maine Road Trip Map<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/best-places-to-see-on-a-maine-road-trip\/#Day_1_Go_Deep_Into_the_North_Maine_Woods\" >Day 1: Go Deep Into the North Maine Woods<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/best-places-to-see-on-a-maine-road-trip\/#What_to_do_in_the_North_Maine_Woods\" >What to do in the North Maine Woods<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/best-places-to-see-on-a-maine-road-trip\/#What_to_eat\" >What to eat<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/best-places-to-see-on-a-maine-road-trip\/#Where_to_stay\" >Where to stay<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/best-places-to-see-on-a-maine-road-trip\/#Day_2_See_the_Other_Part_of_Acadia_National_Park\" >Day 2:&nbsp;

But in those traditional places, I also found unique things to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I drove myself on this 8-day solo road trip in a primarily circular route starting and ending in Portland. This ensured that I would experience interior rural Maine, along with the famous well-traveled coast, and ultimately get to the best places to see in Maine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stayed in small B&amp;Bs and cottages along the way, giving me the opportunity to meet a lot of locals. And I also made sure to try some new activities I\u2019ve never done before, like fishing, along with some old favorites, like surfing. Come along with me to see all sides of this beautiful state on a Maine Road Trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/tpembd.com\/content?trs=374801&#038;shmarker=593978.maine&#038;country=usa-maine&#038;city=portland&#038;locale=en&#038;powered_by=true&#038;bg_color=%235f9c9c&#038;font_color=%23333333&#038;button_color=%23DD3D87&#038;button_font_color=%23ffffff&#038;title_text=Search%20for%20Car%20Hire&#038;button_text=Search&#038;rounded_corners=false&#038;benefits=false&#038;dc_powered_by=false&#038;supplier_logos=false&#038;campaign_id=117&#038;promo_id=3873\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maine_Road_Trip_Map\"><\/span>Maine Road Trip Map <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<center><figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1cWwfCgOnAF6YrlSBl6p8M06C5UE\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure><\/center>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_1_Go_Deep_Into_the_North_Maine_Woods\"><\/span>Day 1: Go Deep Into the North Maine Woods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I arrived in Portland and drove north to Glenburn \u2013 where I immediately gave up the car and got in a floatplane to go deep into the woods.

is no secret; however, the <strong>Schoodic Peninsula in the National Park<\/strong> is a secret. It\u2019s uncrowded and unspoiled, and it\u2019s not even connected to the rest of Acadia Park! Located in the Gouldsboro area, the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park covers over 2,000 acres of wild forest set along the crashing surf of Frenchman Bay. The National Park has spent a lot of time further developing the Schoodic Peninsula with a scenic drive around the perimeter, biking trails, new campgrounds, and numerous hiking trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was pretty excited when I turned onto the peninsula and realized this was the lesser-known part of the park. In fact, most people don\u2019t even know it exists!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image29184_18cfa4-09 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image29184_18cfa4-09\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Maine-road-trip-Schoodic-Peninsula-07440.jpg\" alt=\"Best places to see in Maine Schoodic Peninsula\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-29214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Maine-road-trip-Schoodic-Peninsula-07440.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Maine-road-trip-Schoodic-Peninsula-07440-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Maine-road-trip-Schoodic-Peninsula-07440-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Coastal views of the Schoodic Peninsula<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I stopped at the Schoodic Institute and learned all about their <a data-lasso-id=\"975893\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/citizen-science-travel\/\">citizen science<\/a> programs. Schoodic Institute is the nonprofit partner of Acadia National Park, and it\u2019s the largest of all 18 learning institutes in the National Park System. The difference between learning institutes and regular parks is the science element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors can get involved in park studies such as migration counts, penology (the timing of when things happen in the seasons), tidal zone changes, and gathering data on when migrant birds arrive. The goal is to create a society where visitors can be introduced to science and engaged by helping collect data.

those aren\u2019t secrets! Instead, I got up early in the morning and walked the Eastern Promenade Trail along the waterfront and watched the sun come up. It was a really peaceful time to get a feeling for the popular port city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a Maine Foodie Tour, learning about how Portland has become a popular foodie \u2018capital\u2019. I also got tips on the local places to eat, like the Holy Donut shop and the Porthole Restaurant for no frills and no touristy lobster! And I ended my time in Portland with a sunset kayak adventure that gave me a whole new perspective on the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
