Cobscook Bay State Park |
|
|
| Description |
Cobscook Bay State Park is ideal for the camper seeking solitude and
beautiful scenery. The Park, surrounded on three sides by the salt
waters of Cobscook Bay, has more than 100-well-spaced and secluded
campsites. Many of these campsites are located at the water's edge and
provide excellent vantage points to observe the ebb and flow of the
tides. In fact, Cobscook is a Maliseet-Passamaquoddy word for boiling
tides. The average tide is 24 feet with some running as high as 28 feet.
At low tide adventuresome campers may dig for the delicious soft shell
clam.
More than 200 different species of birds, including the American bald
eagle, have have been identified in the Park and in the nearby Moosehorn
National Wildlife Refuge. Wildflowers abound in woodlands and meadows
and along the roadsides. |
