2024 Map of Schoodic Head

About this map

Acadia National Park dominates this section of the Maine coast, protecting the rocky protrusion of the Schoodic Peninsula and its surrounding archipelago. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the granite heights of Buck Cove Mountain and Schoodic Head to the Atlantic Ocean. Along the western edge, the developed corridor of Grindstone Neck overlooks Winter Harbor, while the interior of the park is crisscrossed by modern recreation paths including the Wonsqueak Bike Path and the Mountain Brook Bike Path. Notable coastal features like The Anvil and the sheer drops at Ravens Nest highlight the dramatic geology of the Down East shoreline. Small harbors such as Bunkers Harbor and Wonsqueak Harbor provide sheltered pockets against the sea, reflecting the enduring maritime character of Hancock County. Remote outcroppings like Schoodic Island and Big Moose Island stand as isolated landmarks at the peninsula's southern tip.
