MID-COAST MAINE - KNOX COUNTY
|
Many of the County Links on the left will keep you specifically in or near Knox County here in Maine. We add new listings and links on a regular basis so bookmark this page and check back often. If you're looking for the authentic Maine experience, this is it. The Rockland-Thomaston area is the entry point to Penobscot Bay, perhaps the most scenic body of water on the eastern seaboard. Here you'll find scores of islands, a dozen historic lighthouses, and quiet little protected harbors filled with working lobster boats. Ospreys and bald eagles nest high in the spruces along the rugged shores, puffins make the islands their home, deer browse the open fields, moose forage the wetlands, and harbor seals make their annual pilgrimage to quiet coves.
While nature is at the core, hospitality is the rule of the day. Here you'll find access to island ferries, comfortable accommodations, outstanding restaurants and galleries, first-class museums, and the retail center for the Mid-Coast region of Maine. This is the Lobster Capital of the World, home to the country's largest windjammer fleet, and the Gateway to Penobscot Bay. We invite you to come experience The Real Maine.
Looking for adventure in Maine this year? Deep sea fishing trips, whale watching and lighthouse tours are big in the coastal counties of Hancock (Bar Harbor), and Lincoln, (Booth Bay Harbor). Moose watching, canoeing and hiking are great in the mountain counties of Piscataquis, (Greenville and Moosehead Lake), and Penobscot, (Bangor).
