Hancock County, Maine
Hancock County sits on the rocky coast of eastern Maine at the Atlantic’s rugged shoreline. Acadia National Park is a crown jewel of the area with all its vistas and outdoor adventures.
Lobster is king here. From Ellsworth to Bar Harbor, you’ll find some of the best seafood joints in the state. The coastal views make the experience even better.
The county is named after John Hancock, but its character is all its own. You might spot a moose or two if you’re lucky hiking Cadillac Mountain. Always be on the lookout.
