Schoodic Peninsula
The Schoodic Peninsula is a peninsula in Down East Maine. It is located four miles (6 km) east of Bar Harbor, Maine, as the crow flies. The Schoodic Peninsula contains , or approximately 5% of Acadia National Park. It includes the towns of Gouldsboro and Winter Harbor. The peninsula has a rocky granite shoreline containing many volcanic dikes. The peninsula is home to the former United States Navy base, NGSA Winter Harbor, which has been converted into a National Park Service training center. A resort development has been proposed for land abutting Schoodic Peninsula's national park holdings to the north.
==Acadia National Park==
The section of Acadia National Park on the Schoodic Peninsula is more secluded than the main body of the Park, located on Mount Desert Island; approximately 10% of visitors make the trip to the peninsula. The island is easily visible across Frenchman Bay, but the trip by road from Bar Harbor around the bay to the peninsula is long, about one hour by car. Ferry service is available seven days a week from late June through September, with ferry trips taking one hour.
The park is accessible via a one-way long loop road. The main feature is Schoodic Head, the highest point on the peninsula at above sea level. A number of hiking trails ascend the Head. Other features include the picnic area at Frazer Point, views of Schoodic Point, Blueberry Hill, and the Anvil. Many of the developed features of the park, including some of its hiking trails, service roads, and comfort stations, were built by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s in the National Park Service's Rustic architectural style. More than of the park were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 in recognition of this contribution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Schoodic Peninsula Historic District )〕
