Hiking: Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park – Casco Bay Trail – meander in and out of the pine forest along the coast spotting osprey and harbor seals along the way. |
| Lobsterman: Haul up your dinner on a lobster boat cruise out of Portland. Any keepers are for sale on the dock, where you can have them cooked.
|
Nature Viewing: Hardy Boat Puffin Watch – out of New Harbor from June thru August (until the puffins leave). 5:30 PM |
| On the River: 3 hour cruise on the Kennebec River from Bath to Fort Popham. See lighthouses, seals, eagles, osprey, sturgeon and more.
|
On the Bay: Take the mail boat on either the morning or afternoon run. Discover the islands in the Casco Bay. |

| Bird Watching: Bradbury Mountain - raptor flyway (April – May); town dock – sea birds; Cousins River – great blue herons; Brunswick Airport – snowy owls (winter). | Walk to an Island: At low tide on Popham Beach you can walk to the Fox Islands.
