Lamoine State Park, State park on Maine coast, US

Lamoine State Park is a coastal park spanning 55 acres with pebble beaches, walking trails, and natural landscapes overlooking Cadillac Mountain. The grounds include picnic areas, shower facilities, docks, and boat launches for water-based activities.

The waterfront was the site of a U.S. Navy coaling station that opened in 1902 and closed by 1912, when coal-burning warships became obsolete. The state of Maine took possession of the property in 1949 and developed it into a state park during the 1950s. It is now managed by the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.

The park's shore looks onto Lamoine's working waterfront, where boats still use the harbor. The site's own working past is remembered in its name history: the U.S. Navy coaling station opened here in 1902 and closed by 1912. Today the 62-site campground and boat launch keep the shore in seasonal use.

The park sits on the shore of Frenchman's Bay in Lamoine, with a boat launch and kayaking on the water and a seasonal 62-site campground. Cross-country skiing is possible in winter, and fishing and picnicking are available. The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry manages the site.

Before the park existed, this waterfront hosted a U.S. Navy coaling station that opened in 1902 and shut down by 1912, when coal-burning warships became obsolete. Visitors today walk over ground where ships once refuelled.
