Asticou Terraces - Northeast Harbor Maine. Asticou Terraces is one of those very special places on Mount Desert Island that not very many people know of.
And so, lies part of its charm. (view photos) Not far from Asticou Azalea Garden in Northeast Harbor, on the east side of the protected harbor, is a small parking area next to Route 3. On the opposite side of the road is the beginning of a path that leads up meandering terraced steps and slops to Thuya Lodge and Thuya Garden. Thuya got its name from the abundance of white cedar (Thuya Occidentalis) located in the area. As you climb the stairs and pathway, you quickly are taken in by the majestic nature of the design and how it is one with the location. Asticou Terraces is free but a $3.00 donation is asked of visitors to Thuya Garden. Things to do in Seal Harbor: Check out Seal Harbor Attractions.

Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge consists of four mainland divisions (4,298 acres) and 58 islands (3,940 acres).
The refuge islands span over 250 miles of the Maine coast and support a tremendous diversity of wildlife. The majority of the islands within the refuge are considered nationally significant nesting islands, and support endangered and threatened species, colonial nesting seabirds, wading birds, and waterfowl.
Habitat characteristics vary considerably among the islands. While some islands provide dense stands of red spruce and balsam fir for nesting bald eagles and wading birds, other islands provide great expanses of mixed grasses and raspberries which support nesting terns, common eiders, and a number of neotropical migrants. The rocky ledges surrounding the islands provide nesting habitat for Atlantic puffins, razorbills, and black guillemots.
