Schoodic Scenic Byway
Schoodic Head, ME

The summit of Schoodic Head, which can be reached by a one-mile hike from the parking area, offers incredible views across Frenchman Bay with its many islands and stony ledges. On a clear day, visitors can see Winter Harbor and Egg Rock Lights to the west and Petit Manan Light to the east. The sound of crashing waves against the pink granite rocks of the point resound in the still air. Schoodic's displays of pounding surf are usually more fantastic than those of Mt. Desert Island.
