ACTIVITIES ON THE PREMISES...RIGHT HERE!
A coastal paradise! Fifty private acres in which to relax or be as active and adventuresome as
you want.

Take to foot and explore our woodland and shorefront. A short hike on a trail blazed with cairns (delicately and artistically stacked rocks) will take you 250 feet above Eggemoggin Reach for an exquisitely breathtaking view of East Penobscot Bay. Take your lunch. You'll see Pumpkin Island Lighthouse at the tip of Little Deer Isle, with Pond Island and Islesboro between us and the Camden Hills. The Camden Hills are 22 miles across the Bay. Thomaston is barely visible to the south.
Bring your own kayak or rent one from a local outfitter who will deliver it to our beach. Our beaches are ideal for launching a kayak or canoe. We have a dock and moorings for guests arriving by boat. Many a weekend sailor has found Oakland House a great place to heave anchor for the night. ![[Kayakers on Eggemoggin Reach land at Oakland House Seaside Resort.]](images/maine_coast_kayaking_5248.jpg) There are free rowboats on the ocean and the lake beach for guest use. Life jackets and oars are provided too. You can fish without a license in the ocean. Adults will need a license to fish in the lake. We’ll help you obtain necessary documents.
For children and the young at heart Oakland House has a big lawn for games: volleyball, croquet, tetherball, and badminton. There is always something going on; a great place for families. Little ones can nap while the older ones can have fun outside. There is a collection of books in nearly every cottage and a large bookcase full in the Rusticator Restaurant.
![[A fanciful fairy house found hidden in the forest.]](images/0340_condo_lobster.jpg) As the evening draws nigh, the laid back interior of the old wagon barn beckons. There’s a stone fireplace that makes a nice group gathering place for watching family oriented videos and playing ping pong. It’s a great place to paint (art) on a rainy day too. You bring your own paints. People really enjoy the simple rusticity of the old wagon barn.
Don't forget to go hunting for Fairy Houses on the property. This is great fun for families and the young at heart!
