There's nothing more pleasant than kicking back on the banks of a river and watching the water as it flows downstream. Why not pack a picnic and spend a leisurely afternoon at Tidal Falls?

Tidal Falls is an ideal place to start out your day in Hancock. This flowing body of water comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other attractions like Sullivan Harbor Farm, Wild Mountain Man Ray's Chainsaw Show, and Lamoine State Park to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (223 reviews)

Elsa's is a wonderful place to stay if you are traveling to Prospect Harbor. It is a quaint building with beautiful rooms. But what made our stay spectacular was Gail. She is absolutely amazing. She gave us lots of great ideas about sites to see during our visit. She makes delicious breakfasts. And she's just so much fun to talk to. We wanted to bring her home with us! We will definitely come back for another stay as soon as possible.
