Famous Poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay, a Rockland Native, wrote of Rockland, “"All I could see from where I stood was three long mountains and a wood; I turned and looked the other way, and saw three islands in a bay." Since that time, Rockland has become a Mecca of outdoor activities:
Stroll the harbor-front walking trail connecting several points of interest such as Snow Marine Park, Harbor Park, Rockland Fish Pier, Coast Guard Pier, Maine State Ferry Service Terminal, North End wharves, Marie H. Reed Memorial Park and the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse. Each offers amazing ocean views of mountains, islands, and Penobscot Bay. During the autumn, you won’t want to miss breathtaking foliage and such notable sites as Merryspring Horticultural Nature Park, the Perennial Border, and the Birds and Bees/Winter Color Garden. |
