Downtown Bath

The town of Bath, Maine is typically one that most people will drive straight through. The main town is one strip along the shore of the Kennebec River ending in the Bath Iron Works. It's actually a great small town to peel off the highway and check out if you're ever on the way through the area. Definitely worth a note; stop by the local coffee shop, Cafe Creme or BBQ restaurant, Beal Street Barbeque for some great food and drink.

Doubling Point

Just off the main highway of route 1 in Bath, Maine is the seldom-visited Doubling Point light house. It is only accessible through a 10 minute drive down a dirt road with few signs, so there are likely to be no other visitors if you find it. The grounds are open to the public but is owned and watched after by a private family who are very welcoming to visitors. When we arrived the owner was assembling and painting boat parts and gave us a quick tour. The walkway to the lighthouse juts out into the Kennebec River and offers great view of the Bath Iron Works and shipyards. Definitely worth the drive.
