Damariscotta guide

Explore the richness of our year-round communities... From the crashing surf at Pemaquid Point, to the quiet of hiking at Dodge Point, to sampling the many hand crafted goods, the Damariscotta Region offers something for all. Known for its spectacular natural landscape, the region is home to a variety of outdoor activities. During the warmer months, enjoy swimming at Damariscotta Lake State Park or beach combing at Pemaquid Beach. In the fall, take a foliage trip on the River Road or the Bristol Road and see the area come ablaze with the changing leaves. Snow enthusiasts can find cross-country skiing, ice fishing and snowmobiling. And during any season, hiking one of our several nature trails brings you an appreciation for our natural beauty. Explore the richness of our history... History abounds in the area. Spend a day touring the area meeting houses, from Alna to Bremen. Right on Main Street, Damariscotta, is the Chapman Hall House, listed on the National Register of Historic places. Colonial Pemaquid Restoration and FortWilliam Henry will give you an insight into the seventeenth century. And for a look at the regions fishing heritage, check out Pemaquid Lighthouse and the Fisherman’s Museum. Explore the richness of our quality of life... To find the perfect souvenir to remember your vacation, be sure to visit several of our unique gift shops found throughout the region. Many offer locally handcrafted items from jewelry to pottery to jams and jellies.

If art is an interest, you will find a selection of galleries to entice you. Planing to stay awhile? Cozy seaside cottages, historic Bed and Breakfasts, and family size lakefront camps are all available for you to chose from. So if there’s two or twelve, you can find the perfect spot to relax. And don’t forget, no trip to the Damariscotta Region is complete without a stop at one of our many fine restaurants! Seafood fresh from the docks is a specialty, along with locally baked breads, and desserts. And remember to try some oysters, grown right here in our river!
