This is a beautiful state park close to the little town of Eastport. It offers a couple of pebbly beaches, as well as well-marked trails along the edge of the sea. I ate some of the best wild blueberries I’ve ever had here. The perimeter trail is less than three miles, and includes a slight climb to a rocky headland 173 feet above sea level.
From the bluff, you can see Campobello Island in New Brunswick, the town of Lubec, and the pier on Estes Head.
There is a little side trail from the parking lot down to a beach. It also extends to some raspberry brambles, but it was too overgrown to walk along when I visited.
Directions: Take Route 1 to Route 190 in Perry. Travel 7 miles, passing the Passamaquoddy Indian Reservation and a causeway. Approaching the city of Eastport, the road bends to the left. Take a hard right-hand turn here onto Deep Cove Road, and travel 0.8 miles to the parking area and trailhead.
