Shackford Head State Park, Nature park in Eastport, Maine, US.
The 90-acre state park contains several miles of walking paths through woodlands leading to a rocky headland rising 173 feet above sea level.
The land belonged to Captain John Shackford, who arrived in 1783 after serving in the Revolutionary War and used Broad Cove as his ship's anchorage.
The park stands as a testament to local conservation efforts, as residents successfully prevented the construction of an oil refinery in the 1970s.
Visitors can explore 3.2 miles of interconnected trails while watching for 28 different bird species, including bald eagles and spotted sandpipers.
Five Civil War-era ships were burned for salvage at Cony Beach within the park boundaries during the early 1900s.
