This is a small but beautiful, and fairly popular, state park. There isn’t much of a walk here, but what there is is spectacular. From the parking lot, you can choose a trail on your left, which goes to a stony beach with views of the Camden Hills, or a trail on your right to a lighthouse built in 1852. To reach the lighthouse, which is perched 100 feet above Penobscot Bay, you’ll have to ascend a long staircase.
Directions: From Route 73 south of Rockland take North Shore Drive east to Maine Street in Owls Head, then north to Lighthouse Road. Follow Lighthouse Rd. into the park.
