If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Located 20 miles away, Ellsworth is worth getting in the car for. L.L. Bean Shopping Outlet, Ellsworth Public Library and Wild Acadia Fun Park alone make the drive out worth it. The locals are also likely to point you toward Castine, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Holbrook Island Sanctuary State Park. (But we’re also big fans of Fort Madison State Park and Castline Golf Club.)
