How we would fit it into your day
Distances are approximate from downtown Damariscotta. Newcastle is across the river; New Harbor and Pemaquid are villages in Bristol. Lake Pemaquid is separate from the tidal river. Lighthouse park admission does not guarantee tower access. Confirm actual boat and kayak launches. Confirm the exact visit date and current conditions; no booking is made by this guide.
Before you go
