Portland Head Lighthouse
Cape Elizabeth, Maine | 281 Miles
Portland Head Light is Maine’s oldest lighthouse. Commissioned by George Washington in 1787 and completed in 1791, the beacon sits along Casco Bay, Portland Harbor’s main shipping channel. The stone and brick light station is among the most photographed of Maine’s roughly 65 lighthouses. Our recommended route leads north along Maine’s rocky seacoast. Breathing in the fresh salt air, you’ll ride through historic small towns and fishing villages, and maybe stop for lunch at one of the state’s numerous lobster shacks. Along the way, you’ll probably want to take in Acadia National Park, one of the challenges on H.O.G.’s 50 Rides, One Nation program.
