A walk in Boothbay Harbor
The footbridge across the harbor is the shortcut every local takes and most visitors miss. A working harbor at peak foliage, when the boats are still running and the crowds have gone home. The last big weekend before the season closes.

On the map
FOG: Fog of War Walking Map starts with Boothbay Harbor under fog and clears it only where you physically walk. In a town this size the downtown comes out of the dark in whole blocks in an afternoon, and it stays cleared. No start button, no workout to end: it runs with the app closed and the screen off, and it needs no signal.
Somewhere to eat afterwards is on the Boothbay Harbor festival page.
