Around Maine

Traveling from Schoodic to Jonesport covers a wide variety of terrain formed by glaciers: wild blueberry barrens, hiking trails atop granite domes, clear inland lakes inviting you to fish or take a swim. 

Enjoy Schoodic Peninsula’s remote section of Acadia National Park for an unspoiled experience.

 Stop in coastal villages filled with friendly folk along working waterfronts. 

Take a seat on the wharf for a taste of fresh-caught Maine Lobster—the world’s best!

Live, work, shop and play in all four seasons. Experience working waterfronts and picturesque harbors. 

Visit pre-Revolutionary War sites. Take a deep breath and relax along Maine’s Bold Coast.

From glacial lakes to saltwater bays and tidal marshes, this is the real Maine you have been dreaming of. 

Lobsters, blueberries, fresh garden produce – the Machias Bay area is teeming with bounty. 

Hiking, kayaking, canoeing, birding, whale watching… magic awaits you. 


A working waterfront is far more complex than just one ocean-related industry. Many different business interests coordinate their efforts to both harvest and sustain the sea life they market.

Jonesport is home to a wide variety of waterfront businesses. Most are very traditional and have been pursued as long as people have lived in the area. Modern materials and techniques enhance the output to market as well as the sustainability of various sea-sourced products.


You might be a lighthouse fan. Or a wildlife photographer. Or a couple celebrating a special event. Or a group of friends or family members in search of a memorable outing. 

As a small family business, we can customize your 3-hour cruise to suit your personal preference.

National Wreaths Across America Headquarters

4 Point St, Columbia Falls, ME 04623

In 2008, over 300 locations held wreath-laying ceremonies in every state, Puerto Rico and 24 overseas cemeteries. Over 100,000 wreaths were placed on veterans’ graves. Over 60,000 volunteers participated. And that year, December 13, 2008 was unanimously voted by the US Congress as “Wreaths Across America Day”.

In 2014, Wreaths Across America and its national network of volunteers laid over 700,000 memorial wreaths at 1,000 locations in the United States and beyond, including ceremonies at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, as well as Bunker Hill, Valley Forge and the sites if the September 11 tragedies. This was accomplished with help from 2,047 sponsorship groups, corporate contributions, and donations of trucking, shipping, and thousands of helping hands. The organization's goal of covering Arlington National Cemetery was met in 2014 with the placement of 226,525 wreaths.

The wreath-laying is still held annually, on the second or third Saturday of December. WAA's annual pilgrimage from Harrington, Maine to Arlington National Cemetery has become known as the world’s largest veterans’ parade, stopping at schools, monuments, veterans’ homes and communities all along the way to remind people how important it is to remember, honor and teach.



Lynch Hill Farms Harrington, Maine

Lynch Hill Farms is located in Harrington, a small village on the coast of Maine, where our family owns and operates a farm that has been in existence since 1975. 

Our family farm grows America’s three native fruits– wild blueberries, cranberries, and grapes, as well as shiitake mushrooms. 

We also create beautiful balsam products with locally and sustainably harvested balsam fir and pine, available locally or may be shipped anywhere in the United States throughout the holiday season. 


Roque Bluffs State Park provides visitors with a great diversity of coastal landscapes to enjoy in 274 acres on Schoppee Point (south of Machias). A beautiful, half-mile crescent of sand and pebbles along Englishman Bay is backed by the shallow waters of 60-acre Simpson Pond - allowing for bracing saltwater swims and much warmer fresh water soaks; no lifeguards available. 

Between the beach and the pond are several picnic areas and a children's play area adjoining the parking area. 

A 6-mile trail network just inland from the shore leads through old orchards, fields and woods, with paths that follow the rocky shores of Great Cove and Pond Cove. The town's trailerable boat launch is adjacent to the park on Schoppee Point Road.
