You'll find a lot of smaller towns situated right around Bangor.
Orono is home to the University of Maine along with University
sports and a planetarium. Old Town, one of the stops along the
railroad hiking trail, is home to the Penobscot Indian Nation
and has some great fishing where the Penobscot River and Pushaw
Stream intersect. At the Penobscot Indian Reservation, 5 River
Road, you'll find wonderful woven baskets and leather goods.
I would highly recommend taking a day trip to the Acadia National
Park and Bar Harbor.
A good first stop is the Hulls Cove Visitor Center, at the Hulls
Cove Entrance, 207-288-3338. After viewing their exhibits, you'll
want to start along the Park Loop Road, where you will enjoy
beautiful vistas as you pass by the Wild Gardens of Acadia, the
Nature Center, the Abbe Museum, and Jordan House Pond. We took
two days exploring the area so that we could see the views both
day and night. If you'd like to do your sight seeing while someone
else takes the reins, you'll enjoy one of the Acadia National
Parks Carriage Road tours, Wildwood Stables, reservations, 207-276-3622.
They offer a one hour Day Mountain Carriage tour, a two hour
Cobblestone Bridge tour, a two hour Sunset Carriage Tour, a two
hour tour to Jordan Pond House, and you can even charter a small
carriage driven by one of their coachmen for a private tour.
For a little bit bigger town you can head to Freeport which
is only 110 miles from Bangor. If you do stop in Freeport and
are looking for a comfy pair of shoes, drop by J. L. Coombs (1830),
Freeport Village, one block down Bow Street, 207-865-4557. They
carry Mephisto shoes, along with Dansko, Ecco, Sebago, UGG, Minnetonka,
and Rieker plus 30 other European brands.
