Cobscook Bay State Park

The 888-acre park sits on Cobscook Bay with 106 campsites spread across the shoreline, offering direct access to the water and forest trails.

The park gained its official designation in 1964 through a long-term lease agreement between the state of Maine and local authorities for recreation purposes.

The name Cobscook originates from Maliseet-Passamaquoddy language, referring to the powerful tidal movements that characterize the bay's waters.

Visitors can reserve campsites from May through October, with accommodations for both tents and recreational vehicles up to 40 feet in length.

The bay experiences extreme tidal variations reaching up to 28 feet, creating nutrient-rich waters that support over 200 bird species throughout the seasons.
