​Afternoon
  • 12:30 – 1:00: Walk the gentle Shore Path, admiring the gorgeous wall of Beach Roses (July-August) near the end of the short trail. Turn around at the end and return to Agamont Park; or continue on along the loop back through Town.
  • Have lunch in Town at Epi’s or Thirsty Whale.
  • 2:00 – 3:00: Walk or bike the Carriage Road along Eagle Lake. You’ll walk or bike as far as you want, then turn around and return to the parking lot. A short trip is fun; going all the way around the lake would be quite long and a bore!
  • 3:30 – 4:15: Tour Wild Iris Farm. (You must reserve your tour in advance). Enjoy meeting the chickens, goats, and above all, their magnificent Shire draft horses. You can even schedule a lesson in driving one of these gorgeous horses! Click here to see them in action!
  • 4:30 – 6:30: Enjoy the Village Green, winner of *; explore the shops in Town; visit the Library or the Abbe Museum (a branch of the Smithstonian).​​

​Evening
  • Dinner in Town or back home.
  • After dinner, walk up and back Sols Cliff Road (especially if you have a dog with you!); enjoy the early evening stars.
  • If you’re up late, by all means go out in the driveway and watch the stars when they’re filling the sky! Maine has little light pollution, so star-gazing is a special treat!
