Helipad - Schoodic Head - Acacia National Park - Winter Harbor, ME - Helicopter Landing Pads on Waymarking.com

Near Winter Harbor, within the Schoodic Education and Research Center (SERC)is a marked location for a helipad.

SERC is located along the Schoodic Point part of Acadia National Park. From U.S. Route 1, look for signs to Maine Route 186 and Winter Haven. Follow the road through Winter Haven to the park entrance on the right. Follow the park road to the SERC sign on the right. There is parking for park visitors, near Rockerfellar Hall. From there, find a map of the area and walk to the athletic field on the property. The helipad is near there, along Alvey Drive.

The helipad is marked with a white painted circle and an 'H' at a point along the road where there is semi-circular pavement.

I could not find any other information about he helipad. The nearest map, by the helipad, was a map of the Sundew Trail and marked the spot as a 'heliport.' At a kiosk by Eliot Hall, did not specifically mark the location. However, the paint appeared relatively fresh, so it must still be used. Historically, the location that SERC is now located was a U.S. Navy facility, where they tried to locate enemy ships and subs and break code. it is probable that the pad is for park/research purposes only and not public use.
