Quoddy Head State Park, State park in Lubec, United States.
Quoddy Head State Park extends across 541 acres of coastal land, featuring black cliffs, dense forests, and numerous hiking paths along the Atlantic Ocean.
The West Quoddy Head Light, constructed in 1858, replaced an earlier 1808 structure and continues to guide maritime traffic with its original third-order Fresnel lens.
The park's name derives from the Passamaquoddy Native American tribe, who used the nearby Carrying Place Cove as a canoe portage site for generations.
The park contains 4.5 miles of trails, including the moderate Inland Trail and the Coastal Trail, with interpretive signs explaining local flora and geology.
This easternmost point of the United States includes two distinct bogs where visitors can observe rare plant species adapted to acidic water conditions.
