Beach Hill Road is the ridge that runs above Echo Lake and Long Pond and ends at Acadia's Beech Mt hiking trail. Beech Hill road as it rises towards the mountain offers views both east and west. In the early spring the many antique apple trees and century old lilacs of the old farms bloom. Early summer there are fields along Beech Hill Road filled with colorful lupine waving in the breeze. Fall brings flames of color from the foliage. Beech Hill farm that is owned by College of Atlantic is nearby to the home and offers fresh organic produce. Access nearby Long Pond from Ripples Road and Ponds End, or catch a glimpse of a loon on Somes Pond. Become a member of the Somesville Landing for easy access to Somes Sound.
