We visited this park after our morning trip out to Owl's Head Light and it was a fantastic little park. There is a short walking trail through tall and wide fir forest that stretches to the water's edge. The trees are actually quite large, and being under their canopy was reminiscent of being in the PNW! The floor of the forest is spongy from the roots and pleasant to walk on, carpeted with native wildflowers (trillium, and a few others in the lily family that we do not yet recognize). The park itself features a shallow water cove (swimmers were out today, so it must be shallow to be warm enough!) and large chunks of granite ledge like you can see in this picture. The ledge is seamed throughout, rounded with age and the action of many many eons of waves coming in and out, in and out. It was a gorgeous place!! The water is clear and the beaches stony. There are islands all around!
