Reviewed By 238jong - Newton, United States

I REALLY LOVE THAT VISITORS CENTER SO FREAKING MUCH! They have lots of helpful tourist information (well they at least seem to from my observation I guess because it’s not like I read them all the time or go to that visitors center frequently)! Anyways, they have a funny bear named Smokey which I tried taking a selfie with him but unfortunately it didn’t work out!

Camden Public Library

Reviewed By annsL6506GE

A library that was open during the pandemic! It was like an oasis.Camden's library is on a spot overlooking the harbor, with some amazing outdoor space. What you think is a gazebo or maybe a Tardis, turns out to be a window into the reference room. On the other side of the building is the outdoor amphitheater. It's not hosting any shows or concerts this summer, but is a beautiful shady spot to rest and read.

Monson Appalachian Trail Visitor Center

Monson is the gateway to the Hundred Mile Wilderness, the most remote section of the Appalachian Trail. Whether you’re an experienced backpacker or a novice day hiker, we’ll help you plan a safe, enjoyable adventure in the Maine Woods. We offer information about the A.T. and other trails in the Hundred Mile Wilderness and Moosehead Lake regions. We’ll direct you to mountaintops with sweeping views, pristine waterfalls, or refreshing swimming holes. Not a hiker? We can tell you about other activities—such as canoeing and moose watching—and cultural attractions, from historical exhibits to galleries to festivals. Looking for a place to stay or eat? Need gear or a guide? We’ll connect you with local services: lodging, dining, outfitters, guiding, shuttles. Just passing through? Our center is a good place to stop for a break. We’re small, but you’ll find A.T. photos, maps, and memorabilia, including a model of Katahdin, Maine’s tallest mountain. We’re open early June through mid-October.
