Introduction to Blue Hill Peninsula

Blue Hill is 136 miles NE of Portland, 23 miles N of Stonington, and 14 miles SW of Ellsworth.

The Blue Hill Peninsula is a back-roads paradise. If you like to get lost on country lanes that dead-end at the sea or inexplicably start to loop back on themselves, this is the place. In contrast to the western shores of Penobscot Bay, the Blue Hill Peninsula has more of a lost-in-time character. The roads are hilly, winding, and narrow, passing through forests, along saltwater farms, and touching on the edge of an inlet here or there. By and large, it's overlooked by the majority of Maine's visitors, especially those who like their itineraries well structured and their destinations clear and simple.
