Great place to get some exercise and fresh air , though this place gets busy on weekends. Come at off times for the best experience.

Open sunrise to sunset , and free to the public, with easy walking paths , picnic tables , and restrooms . A quiet and peaceful spot to stretch your legs before the long drive home.

The view was unbelievable even in the dead of winter. However I would recommend going in season to be able to see the museum as well .

Christianna Giordano

Come and visit this beautiful park and lighthouse when near Portland (just 4 miles away!). Bring a picnic and relax on the rolling meadows. Very picturesque!

You’d be missing out on something big if you don’t grab a lobster roll at Bite into Maine food truck !

The old fort and mansion are great fun to explore (although not for the claustrophobic!) and it is a beautiful park for picnics and weddings.

Jenna Rose Robbins

Hang out by the shore or have a picnic in the shade. The abandoned mansion isn't as impressive as I'd hoped, so it's not worth a visit if you're only coming to explore an abandoned space.

Nice spot. Comes with its own lighthouse . Lots of picnic goers
