- Fort Point State Park — In this 120-acre state park, you can follow short, easy paths to a beautiful pier that extends into the Penobscot River, a lighthouse with an old fog horn bell, and a pebbly beach. Summertime fee required. Dogs allowed on leash.
- Main Stream Preserve — A shortish walk, about 0.7 miles one way, with places to check out the pretty stream and glimpse remains of the industries that once relied on it in the 19th century.
- Sandy Point Beach — This is a neat destination if you’re a history buff or want to see seals and ospreys (though I didn’t see either!). The two beaches you can explore are both beautiful, and there are nice trails connecting them.
- Mt. Tuck Preserve — A 3.2-mile loop to the second-highest point in the town, the 565-foot Mt Tuck. The summit is wooded but you can catch a decent view 0.4 miles farther on.
