Maine is a nature lover’s paradise, offering a full range of all-season distractions. From camping, fishing and hunting, to hiking and biking and cross country skiing, plus downhill skiing and snowmobiling, and all kinds of boating (canoeing, kayaking, sailing, etc.); you’ll find many fun-filled ways to spend your free time all year round. If you like hiking you’ll want to make sure and take a trek down The Heritage Trail. The Heritage Trail is a three-mile long footpath traversing both Damariscotta River Association's Salt Bay Preserve and Private land in Newcastle. Hikers pass under Route 1 and can detour to visit the famous "Glidden Midden's", ancient Indian shell heaps on the bank of the Damariscotta River; these record Indian gatherings through untold centuries. Boat cruises operate tours all summer of New Harbor, for bird and whale watching, viewing the lighthouse from the ocean, or a day trip out to Monhegan Island and its famed artists' colony. Pemaquid Beach with its white sand is an enjoyable place to sunbathe and swim in the ocean. Freshwater recreation is available too, at Damariscotta Lake, Biscay Lake, Lake Pemaquid and other smaller ponds. For Golfers, the greens of Wawenock Country Club are among the finest in the state and leave nothing to be desired. For the photographer and the jogger, the autumn woodlands and country roads offer endless vistas of beauty. For the youngsters, there is the Lonna Bunting Children's Playground, opened in 1986. Central Lincoln County Family Recreational Center in provides all types of indoor activity throughout the year. In addition to first run movies, the annual concert series, as well as summer concerts, provide musical enjoyment. The State of Maine has a slogan that says "Maine -- the way life should be." Nowhere in the State is this more applicable than in Lincoln County.
- Schools
Damariscotta schools are top-notch. For children attending school below 8th grade, there are multiple choices of quality schools in the immediate and surrounding school districts. For high school age students, there is one area high school, Lincoln Academy, an independent secondary school chartered in 1801. Lincoln Academy is the fourth oldest secondary school in Maine that is still in existence today.
- Economy
This typical New England town is part of the trading center for Lincoln County. Many excellent and modern stores and specialty shops offer facilities and services to meet every need. A riverfront municipal parking area makes shopping convenient. A boatyard still carries on the tradition of ship building, and visiting craft will find dock space at the municipal landing and boat ramp, with moorings available from the Harbor Master.
- Real Estate
Maine’s Mid Coast region boasts some of the Pine Tree State’s most beautiful coastline, where you will enjoy a selection of personal lifestyle and residential options. Waterfront homes are available, but pricey. You might enjoy living in a historic, 19th century home in town, or possibly select a site with some acreage a few minutes inland, where you can enjoy privacy, or build the home of your dreams! You’ll find many family neighborhoods as well. The choice is yours!
- History / Fun Facts
For the history buff of the family, make sure to plan a trip to visit Fort Edgecomb located on the southern tip of Davis Island. This fort was built in 1809 as orders from Henry Dearborn, Secretary of War at the time. The fort was used as protection during the war in 1814-1815 and finally let its guard down on February 14, 1815 because the threat was over. Fort Edgecomb was put on alert again in 1864 during the Civil war but saw no action that time around. Today the fort is used only as a historic site that may be explored by those who visit.
