  15. Quoddy Head State Park • Quoddy Head State Park is located in Lubec on the easternmost point of land in the United States. The park was purchased in 1962 and encompasses 532 acres! There are 4.5 miles of hiking trails, extensive forests, two bogs, a diverse habitat for rare plants, and the striking, red-and-white striped lighthouse tower of West Quoddy Head Light. • In 1808, West Quoddy Head Light became the easternmost lighthouse in the United States. Its light and fog cannon warned mariners of Quoddy's dangerous cliffs, ledges, and Sail Rock. • This lighthouse greatly reduced shipwrecks in this foggy area, even as shipping increased. • The tower is closed, but visitors are welcome to enjoy the lighthouse grounds and explore the Visitor Center and Museum run by the West Quoddy Head Light Keepers' Association.

  16. Let’s Tour the Lighthouse! • We must walk a mile through a scenic bog before reaching the lighthouse. Please follow the conductor and don’t feed the animals!
