Moose Point State Park
Overview
Moose Point State Park is located on US 1 between Belfast and Searsport. The State Park is a relaxing get away from the busy, populated area. Visitors enjoy exploring the evergreen forest, tidal pools, and viewing the beautiful Penobscot Bay at Moose Point State Park. There is a short ocean-side trail which takes about 10 minutes to walk to, or you may choose to loop around to the interior of the park, This takes about 25 minutes to walk to.
This park is not necessarily a "destination spot" for the traveler but rather a nice place to get off the road and relax a few minutes for many locals. Clean restrooms and sunny picnic tables are located right beside the small parking lot. Interestingly, there is a bike rack, but bikes are not permitted on the trails. However, Route 1 has a bike lane that bikers are welcome to use.
