Day Four...... Camden to Ellsworth, ME 60 miles
On the way to Ellsworth you will see the Penobscot bridge
The Penobscot Narrows Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Penobscot River near Bucksport, Maine. It replaces the href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldo-Hancock_Bridge">Waldo-Hancock Bridge, built in 1931. The new bridge is 2,120 feet (646 m) long. It is one of two bridges in the U.S. constructed recently to utilize a cradle system
The Penobscot Bridge site also is home to the Penobscot Narrows Observatory, the first bridge observation tower in the United States and the tallest public bridge observatory in the world. The tower reaches 420 feet (128 m) into the air and allows visitors to view the bridge, the nearby Fort Knox State Historic Site and the Penobscot River and Bay.
Ellsworth, an even mix of both historic pride and modern urban convenience, is a prime launching pad from which to experience Maine's deep history, natural coastal beauty, and sportsman's heaven. Boasting numerous architectural treasures such as the First Congregational Church and mansions built in the early 19th century, the city of Ellsworth can also keep visitors happy within its borders.
