Cobscook Shores - Old Farm Point

Description

The Old Farm Point Trail (0.25 miles) is a grassed farm road leading to Old Farm Point. There is a screened picnic pavillion in the middle of the field (seats 5), and picnic tables at the end of the point by the shore, with sweeping views of Johnson Bay. When the tide is out look for gray seals and harbor seals on the rock ledges 2000 feet due north.  

The Hay Field Trail (0.3 miles) is a mown path which winds along the southern shoreline.

Bikes are allowed on the Old Farm Point Trails, but are not permitted on the Hay Field Trail.
