Fishing?
Fishing?
We are oceanfront so a common question we get is how is the fishing?
Jonesport has a few small local brooks to fish for trout.
Of them Indian River Stream would be the closest and probably the best. It is a very good native brook trout stream.
Many people from Jonesport who like to trout fish head for the Cherryfield and Columbia barrens for ponds and streams.
I would give the guys a call at the local Inland Fisheries outpost in Jonesboro the will give some good ideas where to go.

Great Wass Island Preserve Hiking Trail(s)
Great Wass Island Preserve Hiking Trail(s)
Trail System
The Little Cape Point trailhead is located at the eastern edge of the parking lot; the Mudhole Trail branches to the east 100 yards south of the trailhead. The two trails are linked by the Shoreline Trail. Due to the extent of exposed bedrock and uneven terrain, the trails may be difficult or even dangerous in bad weather. Hikers should be particularly careful when hiking in dense fog—a frequent feature of the preserve. Please come well prepared for any kind of weather, and be sure to wear sturdy shoes suitable for a long hike through all kinds of terrain. Due to the terrain, your hike will take you longer than you think—you should allow yourself six hours to complete the full 4.5-mile loop.
Little Cape Point Trail (2.2 miles): The Little Cape Point Trail leads to the shore at Cape Cove and Little Cape Point. It winds through deep moss-floored spruce and fir forests interspersed with open ledges of jack pine woodland. After about a mile, these ledges offer beautiful views of a coastal raised bog. Further on, a boardwalk allows the visitor to walk through a sedge-shrub marsh without harming the vegetation. After the trail reaches the shore, it is just a short walk northeast along the shore to Little Cape Point (3-hour round trip).
Mud Hole Trail (1.2 miles): The left fork 100 feet east of the parking lot leads to the edge of a long, narrow, fjord-like tidal cove known as the Mud Hole. From there the trail winds east to Mud Hole Point, where it intersects with the Shoreline Trail.
Shoreline Trail (1.1 miles): Hike along pink granite cliffs that are exposed to the waters of the Gulf of Maine. This trail offers spectacular views of the islands of Eastern Bay. Just northwest of Little Cape Point, the trail takes you along a cobble beach formed by the force of the ocean. Shoreline Trail intersects the Little Cape Trail on Little Cape Point. Note that the trail is directly on the coast and is not blazed.
