In autumn, as the fall foliage reflects brilliantly off its tranquil surface, the lake is transformed by a truly sensational blaze of colors that you won’t want to miss. In the winter months, ice skating and ice fishing take center stage. Cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the surrounding area are also quite popular and there are an abundance of trails leading right off the property.
“When…I dip down across the Narramissic River and look back at the tiny town of Orland, the white spire of its church against the pale-red sky stirs me in a way that Chartres could never do.” Indeed, with so much natural beauty surrounding you, it’s impossible not to feel inspired. Orland is that untouched New England Town, where the pace of life is slow and steady, and the locals are always up for a chat. Stop by the general store, and they'll keep you there all day! THE PENOBSCOT NARROWS BRIDGE AND OBSERVATORY
Imagine a panoramic 360-degree view from a bridge tower forty-two stories high – one of only three such Bridge Observatories in the world. From the top of the “new” Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory, located only 6 miles from the INN on Route 1, you will be able to see beautiful Penobscot Bay as it meets the Penobscot River between Prospect and Verona Island. You’ll have a spectacular view of the Maine coast south to the Camden Hills, East to Mount Desert Island and Northwest to the eastern reaches of the Appalachian trail and Mount Katahdin. You’ll see the picturesque town of Bucksport nestled into the river’s curve and you will be able to look down on the full sweep of historic Fort Knox and marvel at the ingenuity that created this magnificent fort back in 1844. The Observatory is located on the southern end of the bridge in the town of Prospect next to the historic fort. The new bridge’s Observation Tower is the first such innovation of it’s kind in the United States and only the third in the world. The other two bridges with Observation towers are in Thailand and Slovakia. The downeast region
