Camden Maine is a Winter Wonderland
Although things have been unpredictable this year, we are certain that the upcoming winter here in Maine will not disappoint. The open spaces and crisp air will be a refreshing break that many pine for. The little seaside village of Camden Maine is ideal for those that want to surround themselves with seaside views, art, nature walks and some downhill or cross country skiing. The Captain Swift Inn is open this winter. Our cozy fireplace rooms and signature hot chocolate will be a wonderful compliment to your winter adventures.
The Camden Snow Bowl
The Camden Snow Bowl has announced that it will be open for their 2020-2021 season. The staff at the hill have enacted a Ski Well, Be Well program – encouraging visitors to work together for everyone’s safety. The lodge will temperature check all employees and increase cleaning and disinfection protocols per State directions. They are asking skiers to wear face coverings, social distance, arrive together – ski together, stay home if you are sick and asking everyone to plan ahead. Recreation is proven to improve mental and physical wellness – so get out there and enjoy this Maine winter. The Camden Snow Bowl has 20 trails, 11 glades, 2 chairlifts and night skiing, making it a great destination. In addition to the downhill options, The Snow Bowl is working with Coastal Mountains Land Trust and Mid-Coast NEMBA to provide a variety of winter experiences.

Camden Hills State Park
The trails of Camden Hills are open year-round. The auto
road is closed when there is substantial snow. Many locals walk up the auto
road in the winter. During the end of November and the whole month of December,
in addition to the beautiful ocean views, hikers are rewarded with seeing the
Mt. Battie Star. On the evening of Thanksgiving, the Town of Camden lights the
traditional Mt. Battie Star. This star is lit each night until New Years Day. Experienced
hikers know that winter hiking is enjoyed most when you are prepared. Be sure
to bring, a heavy coat, ice trackers for your shoes and some hand warmers to
keep in your pockets. The Inn is not far from the trails of Camden Hills which
makes it an ideal spot to come back to and warm up.
The Camden Downtown
There are many options to dine in the downtown this winter. Whether you prefer to eat at a restaurant or take out and enjoy back at the inn, you have many selections. Long Grain, Tomi Sushi and Noodle Bar, Fresh and Camden Deli have been consistently good for take-out. Add a drink or a bottle of wine from the Captain Swift Inn drink list to complete your take out experience If you prefer dining at a restaurant, Blaze, Camden Waterfront, Camden Sea Dogs and the new Ports of Italy are larger restaurants with spaced out tables and in door dining.
Visit a Museum
The museums in downtown Rockland are a great place to get out of the cold and enjoy some Maine art. The Farnsworth Art Museum and the Center forMaine Contemporary Art are open. For detail about times and tickets, please see their websites.
