"One of Acadia’s biggest attractions outside of the park itself is Timber Tina’s lumberjack show, where you can watch flannel-clad athletes compete by sawing through wood, climbing up trees, and staying upright on floating logs. Since you’ll have to drive off Mount Desert Island to get to the show in Trenton, head out a little early and have dinner at Fogtown Brewing in Ellsworth. The brewery is tucked away on a quiet residential street with a patio that also has a wood-fired oven where you can get a shakshouka pie with a jammy fried egg at its center. There’s a great selection of fun beers like a fruited IPA with papaya and a pilsner made with Maine barley and hops. There are no wrong choices here, as long as you don’t enjoy yourself too much and forget to head to Trenton for the show. " - anne cruz
