A sparkling harbor greets visitors to the Bucksport Bay Area. Long a seafaring port at the upper end of Penobscot Bay founded by the legendary Jonathan Buck in 1764. Though Bucksport is less bustling than some other coastal communities, it offers spectacular views of the famous Waldo/Hancock Bridge and historic Fort Knox, Maine's most visited historic site. The charming waterfront walk & park is a great place to picnic, relax & enjoy the views of this working harbor & marina. In East Orland just off Rt. 1 is the Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery, the oldest salmon hatchery in the nation and Great Pond Mountain where the hiking is beautiful. The Orland & Bucksport area boasts fifteen lakes and ponds, providing a myriad of recreational and nature activities.

For a "two nation vacation" visit the St. Croix Valley, a Down East Maine region on the St. Croix River joined by the US-Canada border. The Down East Heritage Center opens a window on life in this unique bi-nation region.

A place of quiet, peace, and great natural beauty. Enjoy bicycling, bird watching, camping, canoeing, cross-country skiing, fishing, hiking, hunting, kayaking, snowmobiling and snow-shoeing, whale watching, and great nature photography. Antique dealers, art galleries, and museums also compete for your attention. Visit Eastport (America's easternmost city) and Lubec and Quoddy Head State Park, home to one of Maine's most photographed lighthouses, West Quoddy Head Light. Cross a bridge to New Brunswick, Canada onto Franklin Roosevelt's beloved Campobello Island. All this and more is at hand in the Cobscook Bay Area. We encourage you to discover our area's natural beauty, experience the sun's first rising in the continental United States, and enjoy our communities and their attractions.

Deer Isle is home to two villages, more than 100 miles of shoreline fringed in pink granite and spruce, seafood for sale right from the boat, State chess champions, a working waterfront that specializes in lobstering, an inordinate number of artists and plenty of colorful characters. No traffic lights, no fast food franchises, and no need to hurry. Spend a summer Sunday afternoon gallery-hopping or boat out to a deserted island with a picnic, rent a cottage for a month or just stay a night or two in a B&B, take in an evening of live jazz or Shakespeare at the historic Opera House; Friday's Farmer's Market offers fresh flowers, berry pies and a feast of organic produce. Learn about Stonington's working heritage at the Granite Museum, take a watercolor workshop or just plunk down in a comfy chair with a good book, to the sound of gulls wheeling overhead and the distant drone of lobster boats making the rounds of their traps. The island (connected to the mainland by a bridge) welcomes visitors year-round. Plan to trade lots of activities for lots of peace and quiet, and unrelenting scenic beauty.

As the shire town of Hancock County, Ellsworth is a center of governmental and commercial activity. Ellsworth is the gateway to Acadia National Park and Downeast Maine.

Imagine a little village that has remained unchanged for generations, a place that time forgot. It's all here in Grand Lake Stream, Maine's Outdoor Sporting Paradise.

Machias is an Indian name meaning "Bad Little Falls" and these falls run rapidly under the Machias River bridge as you enter our downtown area. We are home to the University of Maine at Machias whose focus is the "Downeast Center for Coastal Studies." The Machias Bay Area is a coastal environment just waiting to be explored by student, visitor, retiree, or anyone relocating to the area. Machias is the county seat of Washington County.

The same magnificent splendor of Mount Desert Island, which attracted its earliest settlers to Somesville in the 1700's, awaits every traveler visiting our several villages today. The Town of Mount Desert is comprised of the villages of Otter Creek, Seal Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Somesville, Hall Quarry and Pretty Marsh, all of which are served by one central government. Minimal commercialization has preserved the rural charm of our quaint villages, and that, combined with the spectacular natural arena of Acadia National Park, provides visitors with unparalleled peaceful enjoyment. Superb hiking trails, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, boat cruises, tennis, biking, shopping, galleries, museums, carriage rides, theater, gardens and nature's own landscapes and seascapes . . . all await you in the Town of Mount Desert.
