When you’re not creating your visual stories in the magical life of MidCoast Maine, there is a fascinating world to visit in Rockport and the stunning environment that surrounds it. Hike in the mountains, kayak on Megunticook Lake, see one of MidCoast’s 24 iconic lighthouses, take a windjammer sail into Penobscot Bay or breathe in the salt air on a relaxing 12-mile ferry ride out to the inspiring artists colony on Monhegan Island.
