• Easternmost River: The St. Croix River divides Maine from New Brunswick. It can be enjoyed at a variety of locations. It empties into the ocean at the "Old Sow" Whirlpool off Dog Island in Eastport. A waterfront walkway in Calais borders the river. As you travel north on Route 1, you can enjoy many views. At Spednik Lake, north of Vanceboro, you can arrange a vacation paddling the St. Croix.

Many locations in Eastport have free copies of a map detailing the Eastport/Lubec Quoddy Loop vicinity. Carry one with you. This map details roads and ferry routes connecting the entire area. You'll enjoy each of these day trips more fully if you have a camera and binoculars always at hand. At every turn you have the opportunity for a moose to appear, an eagle to soar overhead, or some other breathtaking sight to awaken your senses. Many days you'll want a sweater or sweatshirt within easy reach. Bring along water and food so you'll have the freedom to explore in every direction.
