A short walk south takes one to the Causeway Golf Course. A footbridge across the causeway takes one into town where one will find charming shops, lobster pounds, and a variety of establishments to tempt any palate. Enjoy the remodeled library as well as museums, galleries, churches. A short walk north offers a climb up Flying Mt. which is noted as Acadia's greatest reward for the least amount of effort after which one can bask on the rocks of Valley Cove beach. For a greater challenge take a trail to St. Sauveur or Acadia Mt. Discover still more of the awesome treasures of Acadia Nat'l Park on the free Island Explorer Bus or take an auto drive along breathtaking seascapes. Lectures, cinema, and live performances are available in summer. Fall, winter, and spring offer much beauty and opportunity as well. Fall foliage is splendid, cross country skiing along the carriage roads of Acadia is magnificent, and spring simply renews awaiting souls.
