It is located in the Acadia National Park region of Maine, which extends on the east coast from Penobscot Bay to Schoodic Point, and encompasses mountains, lakes, streams, and rocky peninsulas. Inland, the region stretches along the Penobscot River to Old Town. Kenduskeag Stream enters the city from a northerly direction. The area enjoys a four-season climate; summers are comfortable and winters are generally cold.
