Acadia National Park: Otter Cove and Boats

We discovered a stretch along Acadia National Park's shore that just captured our immaginations. Well into our three hour visit, we were all getting very thirsty and hungry. Strange, there weren't any vending machines along the pristine, protected shoreline drive. But there were a lot of flowers and boats and beautiful scenes.


Strange flowers from the prehistoric era grow unfettered in this maritime paradise.

Playing hide-n-seek with us


Otter Cove stares out into the Atlantic


This glacial terminal is framed by flowers

Ragweed takes on a beautiful shape in Maine
