     If you came to camp Bass Harbor Campground is a great place to do that, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Blue Hill Falls. Dry warm beds await you at Pier One Vacation Rentals, and close by you come across Bluff Head. After a long day outdoors Harbor Heights Vacation Rental is a pleasant site to spend a night or two, and Beach Ledge is around here, and is a great site. This lake is so wonderful. The Harbor Trail offers hiking at its best, and Otter Ponds  
   is a nearby lake that you could go to.
All the water falling down from the sky makes Salt Ponds a wet place; the month of November is the wettest with most of the rain, and August meanwhile is the driest month. Spend the day on the beach at Middle Beach since you're here at Salt Ponds, and Salt Ponds is right by the Western Mountain South Face Trail. Camping at Quiet Side Campground is always a good experience.
For the duration of the long summer days
 
               highs here at Salt Ponds reach the 70's, and during the night it cools down to the 50's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 30's, and night lows through the winter for Salt Ponds tend to be in the 10's. This lake is so wonderful. One of the best things about Salt Ponds is its proximity to Little Beach, and a lake nearby is Goose Pond. This place, Salt Ponds, it simply has so much outdoors fun stuff. There's brilliant hiking along the Wonderland Trail, and if you're looking for a magnificent journey, Acadia National Park is reasonably near.

White Birches Campground
We went there in September, but, it seemed like an ideal, quiet place for hikers who may want to get off the beaten track on a very commercial island. The showers were clean, the sites were clean and it was not the most expensive. Forewarned, the shuttle bus doesn't go there, price to pay for remoteness....

Beech Mountain West Ridge Trail
...gher (imagine that?), although the trail alternates between wooded and fairly open rock, meaning that the good views are sporadic.

After 6/10 of a mile you'll come to a trail intersection. The Beach Mountain Loop trail heads left (north) towards the parking area off of Beech Hill Road. You'll want to go to the right/straight, where you can make the final 1/10 of a mile push to the summit of Beech.

The last 1/10 of a mile is pretty easy going, compared to the ascent to this point. With about 100 yards to go you'll come across a small structure on your right that looks to be the former privy for the occupants of the fire tower on top of the mountain. The fire tower on top, incidentally, is abandoned and barred to entry, but you can still climb up one level to get even better views. And it only makes sense that a mountain with a fire tower on top is going to have great views, which Beech Mountain does. The hiker gets almost a 360 degree view, with the only direction really blocked being to the northwest. Very impressive views of Mansell Mountain and the Western Mountain gr...
