"Damariscotta Boxes the Compass"
Welcome to the "Twin Villages"
and a region of widely diversified attractions - pine-bordered lakes, shady forests, tidal rivers, protected harbors,
sandy beaches and rock-bound coast - a region with an historical background dating back to Weymouth's first visit to the Maine coast in 1605.
Look what we have to offer ...
For Golfers, the greens of Wawenock Country Club are among the
finest in the state and leave nothing to be desired. Tennis, swimming, riding,
salt and fresh water sailing, boating and canoeing (one canoe trip covers fifty
miles through both fresh and salt water, with only two carries), are available
sports.
Excursion boats visit the many islands and harbors on regular schedules. At
lighthouse Park at Pemaquid Point, with its supurb marine view, are picnic
facilities, Fisherman's Museum and the Art Gallery. Pemaquid Beach Park has
bath-houses and a food concession. At nearby Colonial Pemaquid Historical Site
is Fort Pemaquid (1692), an artifacts museum, excavations and an adjacent
seafood restaurant and picnic pier. Small mouth black bass, land locked salmon,
trout, pickerel, perch and other fresh water fish are found in the numerous
ponds and streams. The ocean offers tuna, cod, haddock, and other deep sea fish.
(Fishing through the ice for smelts and pickerel, and the alewife run in May are
events never to be forgotton.)
For the photographer and the jogger, the autumn woodlands and country roads
offer endless vistas of uncomparable splendor. For the youngsters, there is the
Lonna Bunting Children's Playground, opened in 1986. Central Lincoln County
Family Recreational Center in Damariscotta provides all types of indoor activity
throughout the year. In addition to first run movies, the annual concert series,
as well as summer concerts, provide musical enjoyment.
