Fort Point State Park, State park in Stockton Springs, United States.
Fort Point State Park extends across 120 acres of coastal land with trails connecting forests, fields, and a mile-long rocky shoreline along Penobscot Bay.
The park contains Fort Pownall, constructed in 1759 under Governor Thomas Pownall's direction when the English considered the Penobscot River strategically important.
The Fort Point Light Station, established in 1836 as Maine's first river light, continues to stand as a testament to maritime navigation history.
Visitors can access the 200-foot pier for fishing, observe marine life, launch kayaks, and enjoy numerous waterfront picnic locations throughout the grounds.
The park provides habitats for diverse wildlife, including deer, foxes, porcupines, and seals, while offering views of both Penobscot Bay and Penobscot River.
