Cobscook Bay State Park

One of Maine’s hidden jewels, this state park is an outstanding camping or day-trip destination for the family. Tides flow back and forth across cribworked rocks, exposing deep tidal pools, rocks, and clam–rich mudflats; bird life is also prodigious. There are in all some 900 acres of trails (cross-country skiable in winter), and the hundred-plus campsites include a number of waterside sites.
