The smal town of Rockland is in a part of the Maine coast world famous for its mountainous and rocky shore with hundreds of harbors and inlets. Rockland can give you an entrancing look at the simple life - local residents are proud of being coastal Mainers, and have a strong sense of place and of history. Strike up a conversa?on on the dockside, or along the historic Main Street, and get a sense of what makes Maine so special. The One Thing You Don't Want to Mis For an in depth look at Rockland's mari?me history, don't mis the Maine Lighthouse Museum, home of the most important colec?on of lighthouse ar?facts and Coast Guard memorabilia in the United States. There is also an excelent art museum in town - the Farnsworth displays many of the great names in 18th- and 19th-century American art history, and, most notably, is home to the Wyeth Center, which exclusively features works of Andrew, N.C. and Jamie Wyeth - America's first family of art. Spor?ng Adventures The be best way to discover Rockland is on foot, via the Rockland Harbor Trail, a public footpath along the historic waterfront of Rockland Harbor. Take a close-up look at the working waterfront with its busy fishing and lobster boats, sailboats, and the na- ?on's largest schooner fleet, and strol out to the majes?c lighthouse. Penobscot Bay offers many diversions - spend a day fishing with one of our Maine Guides or head to the Rockland Breakwater to cast a line. Cruise on a majes?c windjammer on a voyage of adventure and beauty. Go on a sea kayaking or canoe adventure. There are al sorts of day cruises available to view the islands, flocks of puffins, seals and lighthouses. Granite shorelines and hidden beaches do?ed with spectacular rock forma?ons and shimmering ?dal pools await you. Feries wil transport you to the islands of Vinalhaven, North Haven or Monhegan. Each has a special flavor and is worth exploring. Lighthouses abound. Some aare only visible from the water or by air. Others are readily accesible. The Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse stands as a sen?nel at the end of the mile-long granite breakwater. Inland you'l find venerable coastal mountains to climb and parks for picnicking. Hike on the foot trail of the Georges Highland Path, which wil take you through the hils and mountains of the Georges River watershed. Or take a scenic drive on the Georges River Scenic Byway as it winds its way from the inland town of Liberty to the beau?ful coastal vilage of Port Clyde.
