Walking the Camden Hills State Park Multi-Use Trail offers natural woodland scenery and seasonal water views. The 4.8 mile well-maintained trail winds through the forested lower slopes of the mountains ending at Youngtown Road in Lincolnville. On this day, we walked to the ski shelter and back which is approx. 4 miles round trip.
