Cobscook Bay is a State Park getaway with the secluded feeling of an island, surrounded on three sides by water. Meaning "boiling tides" in the local Native American dialect, Cobscook has extreme tidal swings and an abundance of softshell clams that visitors can enjoy digging for when here. The park has great opportunities for wildlife viewing, and is home to many species of birds, including the bald eagle. Perhaps the greatest attractions though are the 100 campsites, which provide campers with seclusion, space, and fabulous scenery. Combined with beautiful wildflowers and great hiking opportunities, Cobscook Bay State Park is truly a nature lover's dream.
