Cherryfield and Columbia Falls

Cherryfield is 6 miles N of Milbridge on Rte. 1. Columbia Falls is 11 miles E of Cherryfield on Rte. 1.

North of Milbridge on Route 1, you’ll pass through lovely little Cherryfield, the self-proclaimed Blueberry Capital of the World, and Columbia Falls, with a town center that has retained its longtime charm thanks to the good fortune of having been bypassed by Route 1.

From Columbia Falls, detour south along Route 187 (which makes a complete loop of its peninsula) to Jonesport (pictured above), a photogenic, lost-in-time fishing village dominated by lobstermen and boat work. Jonesport is the jumping-off point for the nature preserve on Great Wass Island. Or stay on Route 1 to Jonesboro and detour 6 miles on Great Cove Road to Rogue Bluffs State Park.
