Nubble Light

You can look, but you can’t touch the National Register of Historic Places light as it sits out on Cape Neddick Peninsula, a “nub” of rock separated from the park by the ebb and flow of the tides. Take a Nubble selfie in summer, then make a plan to visit on a winter evening to see it dressed in holiday lights. Photo by Karen Beaudoin

Fort Allen Park, Portland

<a href="https://www.portlandmaine.gov/2236/Fort-Allen-Park" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">portland.gov/fort-allen-park</a> | <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fort+Allen+Park/@43.6654192,-70.242781,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4cb29c5b68e4c44f:0xb8e47fc1dbddae0d!8m2!3d43.6654153!4d-70.240587" target="new" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google map</a> Parking your picnic blanket on this 10-acre path of green on Portland’s East End can cause your head to swivel. To the left you’ll have a view of Mackworth Island and the sailboats that float along off East End Beach. Behind you stand some of the city’s most stately historic homes. And ahead will be the brilliant blue of Portland Harbor, complete with sightings of Fort Gorges, South Portland’s Bug Light and several Casco Bay Islands. Gaze. Relax. Enjoy.

Hamlin Peak, Baxter State Park

<a href="http://4000footers.com/katahdinhamlin.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">4000footers.com/Hamlin</a> | <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hamlin+Peak/@45.919898,-68.9361879,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4cbac29f5580b8d7:0x285b7b52924cbe51!8m2!3d45.9242127!4d-68.9286562" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Map</a> It takes some work to get to the 4,756-foot summit of Maine’s No. 2 peak but oh the sights you’ll see: Baxter Peak and Knife’s Edge across the way, Chimney Pond down below, and the dizzying Great and North basins, which sit on either side of Hamlin Ridge Trail. While everyone else crowds the other peak for their Katahdin summit photo, enjoy your quiet time taking in the expansive views of mountains and valleys, sky and clouds as far as you can see.
